▍原文

Elon Musk addressed Twitter employees on Thursday for the first time since striking a deal to buy the social network for $44 billion. 

The billionaire Tesla CEO touched on a wide range of subjects, from his ideas for improving Twitter's finances to the platform's rules about speech to musings about life, the universe and the existence of aliens, according to a person who listened. 

Musk said Twitter is a different company than Tesla and while he favors in-person work, he's open to letting "exceptional" employees work remotely. He also said people want to see "entertaining" content, pointing to the wild popularity of the short video app TikTok.

▍复述文本

Elon Musk this buddy, really has a big plan. He spoke to Twitter employees for the first time since he’ve bought it.

The billionaire touched on a wide range of subjects, from his ideas for improving Twitter's finances to the platform's rules about speech to musings about life, the universe and the existence of aliens. He seems to know something about everything.

Then he went on to say Twitter is a different company from Tesla and while he favors in-person work, he's open to letting "exceptional" employees work remotely. He also said people want to see "entertaining" content, pointing to the wild popularity of the short video app TikTok. He wanted to create a western version of TikTok and Wechat rolled into one.
