Elon Musk may want out of his deal<\/a> with Twitter, but he has some ideas about how to run the bird app, and they involve layoffs, subscriptions, and\u2026 a sarcasm button. Musk turned up on Thursday for a video chat with Twitter employees, and the employees promptly leaked its contents<\/a> to reporters \u2014 including my Verge<\/em> colleague Alex Heath<\/a> and The New York Times\u2019<\/em> Mike Isaac, who ran a liveblog of the event while it was happening<\/a>. An apparent digression about aliens<\/a> notwithstanding, the meeting\u2019s results were fairly predictable but illuminating for anybody who\u2019s spent too much time obsessing<\/a> over ominous phrases like \u201cauthenticate all humans\u201d in the past few months.<\/p>\n
