Elon Musk has now purged roughly half of Twitter’s 7,500 employee base, leaving whole teams totally or near completely gutted, including those tasked with defending against election misinformation ahead of the US midterms next week, The Verge has learned.
The areas of Twitter impacted the most by Musk’s cuts include its product trust and safety, policy, communications, tweet curation, ethical AI, data science, research, machine learning, social good, accessibility, and even certain core engineering teams, according to tweets by laid-off employees and people familiar with the matter. More company leaders, including Arnaud Weber, VP of consumer product engineering, and Tony Haile, a senior director of product overseeing Twitter’s work with news publishers, have also been laid off following Musk’s firings of Twitter’s senior leadership last week.
Given the sweeping nature of Musk’s layoffs and his mandate to cut costs in areas like cloud hosting, employees who remain at Twitter told The Verge that they expect the company to have a hard time maintaining critical infrastructure in the short term. “Shit is gonna start breaking,” said one current employee who requested anonymity to speak without the company’s permission, while another called management’s layoff process “an absolute shit show.”
Musk’s cuts began Thursday evening, shortly after an unsigned memo was sent internally confirming the company would “go through the difficult process of reducing our global workforce.” Impacted employees quickly realized they were locked out of their work accounts well before they were notified of their job status by another unsigned email titled “Your Role at Twitter.”

“90% of Twitter Asia gone
85% of Twitter India gone
Chinese Twitter censorship team gone”
Good, most are no doubt mindless socialist, at best.
“How does he know who he’s laying off when they never show up to work ? LOL”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Wasn’t it Musk who told the Tesla employees that they can work from home for somebody else?
I got permanently suspended from Twitter yesterday. I have appealed the suspension, but I guess I can’t expect a response any time soon. ;-)
Matt Walsh went through the “Day in a Life of a Twitter Employee” video and was pointing out the ping pong tables, meditation rooms, etc. He finally agreed he’s leave them and whoever used them would be the first to go.
Well, you have a decision to make Mr.or Ms. Twitter-employee. You either get with the new program or hit the bricks before they find out you're sharing inside company information and fire your butt.
So, those were the bots?
Surprise!!
So that's what they're calling censorship these days. Good to know.
If I see one more proggie whine about the Twitter team being eviscerated I'll...I'll...I'll hurt my face grinning.
This is what I wanted President Trump to do with the federal govt. when he took office.
Twitter would have banned all Adams ads and covered up Jefferson's slaves.

The Verge sounds sad.
I’m elated.
Fun factoid. China has a large effort to control negative Social Media comments about them worldwide. Twitter assisted them in this effort.
Enjoy the suck you twatty beetchies
“This is what Trump needs to do to the federal government when he’s re-elected in 2024.
“Day One Blitzkrieg, top down. Hit them before they can organize. F playing by their rules”
Surprisingly Fed Gubmint grew under Trump, BUT many people for one reason or another left the Dept. of the Interior, Education, EPA and eight other Agencies, supposedly natural attrition. These were offset by growth in VA, Defense and Homeland Security = Border Patrol.
Gutted but in a good way. 😉
It is, but only to chosen party members.
