Moving up. Its very close to 5420. And at some point tomorrow the New York Stock Exchange will delist twitter to take it off. If im the twitter employee what should i be worried about right now because weve seen that the top were hearing reports that the top four head guys are out the door, had problems with musk and theyre gone. So if im a twitter employee what should i be worried about at this point . My job. Because, look, every time a takeover happens whether its from one eccentric billionaire or another company there are often layoffs because there are things the new person wants to do that the old were doing differently. Its likely well see management shakeup in the shortterm and perhaps musk already has a new ceo in place or perhaps a plan for one, who knows. But for the employees for the next few weeks hes likely to take stock and say how many of you do we really need and make some changes there. Its good, hey, youre getting paid, youre getting stock value per share. With the Company Going private how is that impacted if i lose my job, for a twitter employee, perhaps . Well, you still are looking for a job. If you get paid 64. 20 a share youre getting paid. Youre at a time right now Tech Companies are shedding hundreds of billions of dollars and are likely to shed employees if not flat out hiring free. Its a tough time to be a twitter employee except for one thing your share price. Twitter users, whats going to be different for me . Im really curious about that because twitter has been all over the place as a company. Its been really good for us in the News Business to get the word out. But what about politically . We know theres been misinformation on there. Twitter itself got rid of donald trump. Elon musk said ill be trump back if we own this company. Will this become more wild west or will trump put some more things in place to try to clean things up and make free speech, yes, but also misinformation known. Its going to be super interesting to watch because theres also concern with some critics saying elon musk is spreading himself too thin with all the companies he has, spacex and tesla. If youre a tesla shareholder youre saying how many distractions can one ceo take. We shall find out. Another storywear watching tonight out of contra costa county.
