Apparently, not "all lives matter" for employees at Twitter. Due to the latest internal chat leaks, employees were triggered by Twitter's new head honcho Elon Musk stating the inclusive phrase throughout a company wide meeting on Thursday.

As the SpaceX and Tesla CEO addressed the company for the first time since the buyout in a virtual all-hands meeting, Twitter employees were communicating their views on Musk's comments through the messaging channel Slack.

The leaked chats posted to Libs of TikTok's Twitter account shows that employees were particularly triggered by Musk declaring, "all lives matter," which to far-left activists is a phrase of oppression that represents white supremacy.

"All lives matter," an employee declared in the chat, showing disconcertion as they quoted Elon Musk.

"He literally just (said) all lives mattered," another employee went on, seemingly disgusted with their new boss.

Since the declaration of tech billionaire Elon Musk's purchase of the social media platform for $44 billion on April 25, Twitter employees have mentally "broken down" over the acquisition, expressing concern regarding future changes to the "company culture."

Previous internal Slack messages show employees experiencing meltdowns over the change in ownership.

Musk purchased the platform after expressing concerns over Twitter's extreme bias against conservative users in an apparent attempt to guarantee that all individuals on the site have the opportunity to express their viewpoints without being censored by Twitter employees that have differing views.

"Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated. I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans," Musk announced in a statement after the acquisition.

Although, the acquisition has not yet gone through as Musk has reached a set of roadblocks since the April statement. Musk has threatened on several occasions to pull out from or postpone the deal, with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO asking in May that the platform prove that less than 5 percent of the platform's users are bot accounts.

In June, an attorney for Musk sent a letter to Twitter asking that the company provide these figures before the deal would go through.

"At this point," attorney Mike Ringler wrote. "Mr. Musk believes Twitter is transparently refusing to comply with its obligations under the merger agreement, which is causing further suspicion that the company is withholding the requested data due to concern for what Mr. Musk's own analysis of that data will uncover."

According to The Verge, if work on the Twitter buyout deal proceeds, it's expected to take around six months to close on the offer.
