Twitter’s top attorney and a key voice in decisions such as barring President Donald Trump from the platform became emotional and cried in a meeting with employees discussing Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform on Monday, Politico reported.
Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s head of legal, policy and trust, is said to have played a large role in content moderation at Twitter. She also advised former CEO Jack Dorsey and helped negotiate the deal between Musk and Twitter.
On Monday, Gadde met virtually with employees she supervises in legal and policy to discuss the buy, Politico reported.
She “acknowledged that there are significant uncertainties about what the company will look like under Musk’s leadership,” the outlet wrote, citing three people familiar with the meeting.
The people told Politico that Gadde cried while relaying concerns about changes to Twitter.
They also told the outlet that she said she was proud of the employees, and that they should continue to try to make a positive contribution to the company.
Former employees have said that they don’t feel Musk’s ethos matches the company’s values (though Dorsey has embraced the buy).
