Channel 24 has collected for you the most interesting news of the last few days, not directly related to updates and new functions in the Twitter social network, but related to the internal working process of the company.

As The Verge jokingly pointed out, the sink that Elon Musk walked into on the first day of the company’s office is not for sale.
Offer starts at $25 per Google Jamboard and ends at $5,000. The tender will be held on January 17.
more robots
Meanwhile, a member of Musk’s team told Julio Alvarado, the cleaner who was fired from Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, that a robot would replace him, according to the BBC.
One of Musk’s senior aides told me that my job will soon be obsolete and robots will replace us. – said the former employee.
We wrote recently about the cleaners’ strike, whose contract expired on December 9th. Musk refused to sign a new contract with all of them. Already ex-employees lost their jobs three weeks before Christmas and went to a protest. The reason for such a decision of Musk may not only be his effort to save money, but also the hatred of the businessman for the unions he fights in all his companies.
silence or judgment
Finally, Platformer reporter Zoe Schiffer tweeted possibly about a letter he received from one of the company’s employees. Inside Elon Musk threatens to sue anyone who leaks information to the press.
The text of the e-mail stated that if employees send “detailed information to the media”, they will “get the response they deserve”, thus violating the confidentiality agreement signed. If such an employee is caught, the company will “immediately seek compensation.”
As you can see the threats didn’t help and someone even leaked the media contact ban to the press.
