As the Tesla boss looks set to acquire the company, Twitter employees show mixed reactions.
Twitter's board has endorsed Mr Musk's acquisition of the company, and while others have kept their counsel, its most senior member lent the deal his support.
Others did not share Mr Dorsey's confidence in the Tesla and SpaceX founder's ability to take Twitter to a higher plane. He said Twitter had at one point been the "free speech wing of the free speech party" but the result had been that many people, particularly women and those in the public eye, had been subject to abuse: "So that free speech angle has definitely been tried. And I do wonder what Elon's plan would be beyond that, really."
