Twitter reportedly locked down changes to the platform on Monday to prevent employees who might be mad that Elon Musk bought the company from being able to sabotage the platform.
The move comes after the company’s board of directors unanimously approved a $44 billion definitive agreement to be acquired by Musk for $54.20 per share.
Anonymous sources reportedly told Bloomberg News that the new measure would make unauthorized changes more difficult.
“For now, Twitter won’t allow product updates unless they’re business-critical, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the situation is private,” Bloomberg News reported. “Product changes will require approval from a vice president, the people said. Twitter imposed the temporary ban to keep employees who may be miffed about the deal from ‘going rogue.’”
The news comes as some Twitter employees are reportedly furious that Musk bought the company.
Its “absolutely insane” @ Twitter right now in the virtual valves of private slack rooms & employee group texts, according to an internal source. Their take/breakdown just now:
“I feel like im going to throw up..I rly don’t wanna work for a company that is owned by Elon Musk”…1/— talmon joseph smith (@talmonsmith) April 25, 2022
The employee continued re Elon: 3/“ I feel like he’s this petulant little boy and that he’s doing this to troll…he doesn’t know anything about our policies and what we do…his statement about our algo was fucking insane…
“Were just gonna let everyone run amok?…nobody knows”— talmon joseph smith (@talmonsmith) April 25, 2022
5/ lastly, there’s the harsh irony of this takeover process in which the push notification Breaking News is news to the firm’s workers too: “Everything I know about what’s going on I’ve heard about on Twitter…nobody is saying s*%# to us…I’m just going to try to do my job…”
