Rattled and uncertain of its future, Twitter stumbles on

Anxious employees, wary advertisers and hamstrung management: Twitter is limping along as it waits to learn how the fight over Elon Musk’s buyout bid will end.

“The best conclusion for me would be that he leaves us alone, so that we can go on our merry way,” an engineer at the key social media network told AFP on condition of anonymity.

The engineer spoke of employees departing and a “climate of uncertainty that does not leave one with a peaceful state of mind.”
