Cuts at Twitter under Elon Musk’s ownership aren’t over just yet, with employees accountable for global content moderation in addition to those within the hate speech and harassment units amongst the newest layoffs, Bloomberg reported.
At the least a dozen cuts were made Friday night, affecting employees within the social media company’s Dublin and Singapore offices. Amongst those laid off were staff who managed Twitter’s misinformation policy, global appeals and state media.
“It made more sense to consolidate teams under one leader (as a substitute of two) for instance,” Ella Irwin, Twitter’s head of trust and safety, told Bloomberg.
Since Musk purchased the platform for $44 billion in October, Twitter has seen drastic cost-cutting measures and efforts to remodel it, including shedding roughly half of its 7,500 employees in early November and ending perks like free lunch at Twitter HQ.
Musk has said that “cutting costs like crazy” helped save the corporate from a $3 billion hole in its budget.
Twitter has endured a slew of headaches, including hackers reportedly obtaining the emails of two.35 million the social media platform’s users and publishing them on an Web forum.
Twitter also missed rent payments at its San Francisco headquarters, and is downsizing from occupying six floors to 2
