Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk will talk to Twitter employees at the company’s town hall this week for the first time since reaching a deal in April to buy the social media giant for $ 44 billion.

The meeting will be held virtually on Thursday, when Musk will answer questions from Twitter employees, a source told Business Insider, citing an email to the staff of Twitter CEO Parag Agraval.

A number of Twitter employees have expressed concern about the company’s purchase from Musk. The billionaire has called Twitter employees and the company’s operations in recent months.

Agraval was forced to deal with angry employees during a company-wide meeting in April. Officials demanded answers on how to deal with the expected mass exodus caused by Musk’s purchase.

Earlier this month, Musk suggested that he could cancel his Twitter deal if he failed to provide data showing the number of spam or fake accounts on the platform. Twitter claims that spam and fake accounts make up less than 5% of the platform’s users, but Musk believes the figure is much higher.
