He addressed the layoffs saying he expects them to save the company $400 a year. Musk also gave his pitch for turning the troubled social media company around, including plans to start charging verified user $8 a month.
Guests of the conference only found out Musk was speaking when they arrived at the Metropolitan Opera for the extravaganza and read their programs or saw the poster board with the day's agenda.
