• Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal hasn't been active on Twitter since the Musk buy.

• Agrawal in a thread referenced Twitter's hiring pause and said he expected the deal to go through.

• "I won't use the deal as an excuse to avoid making important decisions for the health of the company," he wrote.

Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal hasn't been very vocal on his Twitter account since Elon Musk mounted a bid to buy Twitter for $44 billion in late April — but that changed on Friday.

"A lot has happened over the past several weeks. I've been focused on the company and haven't said much publicly during this time, but I will now," Agrawal wrote.

In a long Twitter thread, he discussed Twitter's veritable hiring freeze and said he expected Musk's deal to go through, among other topics.

The world's richest man and Twitter's owner-to-be said Monday that the deal was paused "pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users," but added later he was still intending to complete the buy.

Musk has crusaded against spam bots and pledged to "authenticate all humans." But as Variety pointed out, Twitter has been using the 5% figure in financial filings since it went public in 2013, and it's possible that Musk is just looking for a way out with the way things are going.

On Thursday, Agrawal emailed staff and said the company planned to pause hiring besides vital positions, would potentially take back offers that were already out, and two top executives were leaving.

And that's just been this week's drama. Agrawal was relatively quiet on his account through a host of online moments in the last few weeks, from Musk tweeting about his employees to Musk ideas for the company coming out.

In the thread on Friday, Agrawal twice discussed answering questions about his decision-making of late.
