On Thursday, October 27th, a grinning Elon Musk marched into Twitter headquarters holding a bathroom sink, mumbling to the camera “you can’t help but let that sink in” and chuckling at his own bizarre pun.

Musk spent the day at the office holding court with employees and executives. He tweeted that he was “Meeting a lot of cool people at Twitter today!”

Rumors that were swirling at the time that Musk planned to cut 75% of Twitter’s staff, which he reportedly denied when asked by an employee.

Technically, this was a day before his official Twitter tenure started with the close of the buyout on Friday. But the sink episode set the tone for what will surely be a strange chapter in the company’s history.
