The previous few weeks have been nothing in need of dramatic over at Twitter headquarters. However earlier than we get into that, I simply wish to thank dark-paul gosselaar for our cowl picture inspiration.
And I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that I sympathize with the entire workers who’ve been let go, by alternative or not. Hundreds of individuals shedding their jobs isn’t a laughing matter and under no circumstances am I making mild of it.
How we bought right here
Elon Musk posted eight tweets in the present day, which is stunning for somebody who ought to be busy working an organization (into the bottom).
However his newest spherical of modifications is an undoing of one among his earliest acts as new CEO, which was to ban Kathy Griffin and others for poking enjoyable at his management.
However the week began with Musk sending out an (encrypted?) e-mail to all staffers informing them that they are going to be fired except they work at an “extraordinarily hardcore” fee to construct “Twitter 2.0”.
The outcome?
Shortly after the e-mail went out, Twitter introduced that they have been locking their doorways (some say they’ll reopen on November 21). All remaining workers have been knowledgeable that their badge entry had been revoked.
This was the scene at Twitter HQ final evening:
And Musk tweeted:
He does know individuals love watching a practice wreck, proper?
Both means it looks like conversations are flowing, opinions are flying, and engagement is thru the roof.
It’s no marvel that so many individuals suppose that is the top for Twitter. Even Musk is becoming a member of in on the …er, enjoyable?
Let this sink in. Musk began his first day on the job by firing prime executives, together with the CEO, Parag Agrawal. Quickly after, a number of others adopted swimsuit. Let’s take a look at who’s gone:
- CEO Parag Agrawal
- Chief Monetary Officer Ned Segal
- Head of authorized coverage, belief and security, Vijaya Gadde
- Normal Counsel Sean Edgett
- Chief Info Safety Officer Rinki Sethi
- Head of Safety Peiter Zatko
- Chief buyer officer, Sarah Personette
- Chief individuals and variety officer, Dalana Model
- Chief advertising officer, Leslie Berland
- Normal supervisor of shopper and income product, Jay Sullivan
- Normal supervisor for core applied sciences, Nick Caldwell
- Chief accounting officer, Robert Kaiden
- VP of world consumer options, Jean-Philippe Maheu
- Head of Worldwide Communications, Julie Steele
- Head of Belief and Security, Yoel Roth
- The worldwide head of social and editorial
- The director of ML ethics, transparency, and accountability
- Chief data safety officer
- Managing director of Twitter Studio
- Head of location technique
Those that haven’t been fired are selecting to stop on their very own phrases. The explanations? Peter Clowes helps clarify why some are selecting to not comply with Musk:
So is Twitter achieved?
Possibly? One among its remaining workers has advised Newsweek reporter Travis Akers the web site “has a couple of week left earlier than it’s lifeless.”
Some individuals aren’t satisfied.
It’s tough to consider that Musk would spend $44 billion on the platform simply to look at all of it burn in a matter of weeks. However I additionally suppose he underestimated how a lot the employees would endure. With the entire conflicting data on the market, it’s exhausting to know what to consider. We’ll attempt to hold this web page up to date with the newest data because it’s popping out. Keep tuned!
