Another user tried to explain the meaning of Namaskar in response to a tweet that assumed that Musk was seeking forgiveness for his action on the social media platform.
Namaste is not “asking for forgiveness”, its just “howdy”.

In a post a few days back, Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk said that the microblogging platform is very slow in India and many other countries, compared to the United States.
The new Twitter chief has come under criticism for axing nearly two-thirds of Twitter’s 7,500-person workforce in three weeks since he took over the reins of the social media firm.
Musk also announced several changes including a verified blue subscription to monetise the platform. The company is undoubtedly going through the most chaotic transition under the new boss.
Back in India, the company laid off nearly 180 of its 230-odd employees, reported the Economic Times.
Twitter has around 23.6 million users (as of January 2022), according to Statista. India is the third largest market in terms of users.
India reportedly accounts only for a small percentage of Twitter’s revenue. However, former Twitter India head Manish Maheshwari told that India remains a critical market from a user growth perspective.
