Elon Musk Mocks Twitter’s HR Bots

Who’s going to tell the HR bots at Twitter that the new guy is not a mere middle manager?

Elon Musk, who closed out his $44 billion deal to take the social media platform private on Thursday, used the occasion to share auto-generated messages he got helpfully advising him how to be a better manager and inspire his team. The note came after the new boss sent the former CEO and a handful of other bigwigs packing his first day on the job.

“Hey Elon,” the message began. “It’s time to start Managing @Twitter (M101)!”

“M101 covers what it means to be a good manager at Twitter by showing you how to create opportunities for impact, help your Tweeps grow their careers, and demonstrate care for your team.”
