Twitter staff ‘super stressed’ over Musk board chaos on day off

Twitter Inc employees were scheduled to have Monday off, for the company’s monthly "day of rest.” But Elon Musk made it hard not to think about work.

Musk, the billionaire who disclosed this month he’d become the largest individual Twitter shareholder, backed away from a plan to join the company’s board over the weekend. Days earlier, Chief Executive Officer Parag Agrawal had laid the groundwork for a friendly relationship by inviting Musk to join the board. The company was so confident he’d accept that it listed Musk as a board member on its investor relations website. Agrawal also organised a question-and-answer session with Musk and employees this week.
