"He's f***ing destroyed the company"

A Twitter employee told NBC News Friday Elon Musk “destroyed” the company after it was announced he will attempt to back out of a deal to acquire the platform for $44 billion.

The person, who spoke anonymously, said there was a sense of “victory” felt, but that it came at a cost.

“I guess it feels like we won,” the person reportedly said. “But it feels like the end of the movie, where the characters are bloodied and bedraggled with a Michael Bay explosion behind them. We could see this was coming, but in the meantime he’s f—ing destroyed the company.”

While Musk has undoubtedly disrupted Twitter’s corporate culture over the last three months, the company’s board arguably shares equal blame.
