Twitter Staff Wants Elon Musk To Stop Threatening Layoffs As Deal Deadline Looms – Report

Doja Cat is no longer called Christmas. That’s the big news today.The rapper changed her name on Twitter earlier this week to the prematurely festive moniker.

After recently laying off half of Twitter’s employees and on the same day that three of the company’s top security executives quit, the world’s wealthiest man reportedly told Twitter’s remaining product team members that the company he just bought could see “net negative cash flow of several billion dollars” in 2023 and “bankruptcy is not out of the question” if that happens.

New Twitter owner Elon Musk presided over a rambling, hourlong appeal to advertisers, defending the newly instituted $8-a-month blue-check verification program and vowing to make the social platform “a force for good.”

Bye to the bird app. Controversial entrepreneur Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter has led to many polarizing opinions — and many stars’ departures from the social media platform.

Kathy Griffin was suspended from Twitter but found a way to return to the digital platform by using her deceased mother’s account.

Kathy Griffin lost her privilege of “free speech” on Twitter after her account was suspended. This was followed by a tweet from Elon Musk warning people about “engaging in impersonation.”

As Twitter employees face mass layoffs starting today, new overlord Elon Musk says the platform has seen “a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers.”

Twitter has reportedly sent out a company-wide email warning its estimated 7,500 employees that layoffs will start Friday.

Plans to charge Twitter users for verified 'blue tick' accounts could cost the Scottish Government and local authorities thousands of pounds if implemented. The social media giant is reportedly considering changes to its Blue subscription service, which could see users charged $20 (£17.30) a month or $240 a year.

Elon Musk took over Twitter this week and promised to make the social media platform the place to go for free speech. The tech boss raised eyebrows after he tweeted, then deleted, a tweet that amplified an unfounded claim around Paul Pelosi’s brutal attack.

Well, it happened. Elon Musk actually took ownership of Twitter. We’d love to say everyone was worried over nothing, but… certainly some big changes are already afoot. And they’re not exactly reassuring.

Elon Musk, who just took over Twitter in a $44 billion leveraged buyout, sought to allay fears about the direction of the social media company by saying it is forming a content moderation council.

Elon Musk told advertisers in an open letter today that he believes “advertising, when done right, can delight, entertain and inform,” reassuring the group that makes up the bulk of Twitter’s revenue that ads are still welcome on the platform.

Elon Musk appropriately documented his arrival Wednesday at Twitter headquarters on the social media platform, two days before a Friday deadline imposed by a judge for Musk to acquire the tech giant.
