Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal told reporters yesterday that the future of the social networking platform is uncertain after its acquisition by billionaire Elon Musk.
He was speaking during a gathering of company staff.
Musk will receive questions from Twitter staff later, the company told employees.
As Agrawal listened to questions about Musk's plans regarding the company, the possibility of layoffs, and the company's board thinking about the same deal, he avoided several questions, arguing that they should be answered by Musk.
Musk has stated that Twitter should be a platform that promotes freedom of speech.
Workers asked Agrawal if former President Donald Trump, whose Twitter account was permanently suspended last year, would be able to get back on track after Musk took control.
"Once the deal is closed, we do not know in which direction the platform will go," Agrawal said in response to a question from Trump. "I think when we have a chance to talk to Elon, it will be a question we have to ask him."
Agrawal told workers there were no plans for layoffs.
Brett Taylor, chairman of Twitter's board, aimed to reassure employees that the deal with Musk had given priority to "operational continuity" until the deal was closed.
"I think we feel very comfortable that (the deal) gives this team the ability to continue to make the company successful, between signing and closing the transfer," Taylor said.
