• Twitter plans to host an internal AMA with board member Elon Musk, according to The Washington Post.
• Some employees were anxious about Musk’s role, according to company messages viewed by The Post.
• One staffer asked if board members were held to the same tweeting standards as employees.

A Twitter employee said on the company’s Slack channel that staff would be the subject of an HR investigation if they tweeted like Tesla founder Elon Musk, who now owns 9% of the social media company, according to The Washington Post.

“Quick question: If an employee tweeted some of the things Elon tweets, they’d likely be the subject” of an investigation from HR, according to a Slack message viewed by The Post. “Are board members held to the same standard?”

The inquiry came ahead of an internal Twitter AMA, or “ask me anything” question-and-answer session, with Musk, which Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal told employees about on Thursday, according to The Post.

“We can confirm that Elon will join our CEO Parag for an AMA with Twitter employees soon,” a spokesperson for Twitter told Business Insider. “We have nothing more to share.”

According to messages obtained by The Post, some employees were worried about Musk’s new role on the company’s board of directors, leaders said that Agrawal was still “the tiebreaker,” in terms of company decisions.

Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
