Elon Musk announced on Wednesday that he has cut the Electoral Integrity team at X (formerly Twitter) in half, including the newly brought on board head of the group, Aaron Rodericks.
When the news was reported, Musk replied "Oh you mean the 'Election Integrity' Team that was undermining election integrity? Yeah, they’re gone."
A person familiar with the circumstances, said that four people had been released, which constitutes the whole of the election integrity unit in Dublin.
In an August blog post, X said that there were positions available on the "threat disruption" team, and that they company was "currently expanding our safety and elections teams to focus on combating manipulation, surfacing inauthentic accounts and closely monitoring the platform for emerging threats."

LOL. Only Musk can speak like that. Well, maybe Trump, too.
I wonder what they were doing (or not doing).
LOL!
Musk saw what this nonsense did to South Africa and doesn’t want it in the USA.
Musk has a simple elegance with words.
He’s lighthearted but he gets to the point.
I like Musk, but I think he should have kept the Twitter name.
It’s a safe bet they weren’t rigging things in Trump’s favor
Inauthentic accounts seems like the only thing they should be looking for, as in bots.
The other two are pretty dubious and sound like the same type of fact checking and cancel culture bs we all know and love.
What "emerging threats" does it have to worry about, outside of the scope of it's cyber security?
And manipulation? So if someone tries to argue a point they're scrapped?
Trust but verify. Still don’t trust him.
Nice!
