- Obama just left a meeting off 5th Ave. Hundred outside cheering.
00:00 - Word inside Twitter is that A LOT of employees are not saying “yes” to staying at Musk’s “extremely hardcore Twitter 2.0.” He has been meeting today with engineers to convince them to stay. His deadline to decide to stay or leave expired 6 min ago.

- A Twitter lawyer sent an alarming message to colleagues this morning, saying that Elon Musk “is willing to take on a huge amount of risk in relation to this company and its users” and is at risk of putting the company in violation of its FTC consent decree
