Elon Musk addresses Twitter employees for 1st time

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

He floated ideas for broadening Twitter's business beyond its current dependence on advertising, suggesting it could charge people to get "verified" with those blue check marks – a way of confirming their identities.
