A former Twitter executive warns that layoffs at the company could make misinformation worse for election week

Twitter on Friday laid off thousands of employees in departments across the company, in a severe round of cost cutting that could potentially upend how one of the world’s most influential platforms operates one week after it was acquired by billionaire Elon Musk. Numerous Twitter employees began posting on the platform Thursday night and Friday morning that they had already been locked out of their company email accounts ahead of the planned layoff notification.

The cuts come as Musk attempts to improve the company’s bottom line after taking out significant debt financing to fund his $44 billion acquisition. The email sent Thursday evening notified employees that they would receive a notice by 12 p.m. ET Friday that informs them of their employment status. “If your employment is not impacted, you will receive a notification via your Twitter email,” a copy of the email obtained by CNN said.

In other words, level the playing field.

They are the ones giving misinformation. Maybe the layoffs had to do with the fact that Mysk is losing 4 million a day and layoffs are the first thing they do.

Oooops! Their line of bullshit has been shut off

Propaganda

Former viewer of CNN warns of worsening misinformation being spread by the former news agency.

Misinformation ? coming from fakenews going down the toilet CNN who pushed the Russia Hoax for 4 years. 🤡🤡. You called the Hunter Laptop Russian disinformation. 🤡🤡🤡🤡. Trying to blame MAGA for this👇🏻

what about the layoffs at CNN?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Please stop

These ignorant and corrupt democrats never give up.

CNN's just angry they & their fellow propagandists won't have the monopololize misinformation on Twitter this week.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

no policies have changed on twitter. Your reporting is garbage

....and CNN goes running so scared! Like there hasn't been misinformation at Twitter all along. Give us a freaking break.

The banality of ignorance

Coming from a misinformation station this is hilarious

Twitter users have flagged this tweet as misinformation.

So this is a hypothetical.

lol

You mean the misinformation they put out to help democrats win the mid terms

It rather makes the election fair and transparent

Biden, Harris, Hillary, Obama, Peterman and their group are looking for personal benefit and fighting for it, then they say for democracy they destroyed everything and now China is preparing to invade America's allies and America together, they are developing various weapons

Lol! Twitter was already a source of misinformation. That's 1 reason why they were fired. Twitter is being transformed from a left wing extremist site that censored the right to a fair site for both sides.

As opposed to the misinformation twitter was spreading before?

Depending on Twitter or any social media platform for any important information is either lazy or stupid.

Translation: We lost control of the narratives, now the truth will come out…

Oh dear. BooHoo

We don’t need people telling us what is misinformation! We can do that for ourselves!

A twitter employee marked an image I posted of Joe Biden as SEX WITH A MINOR! DM me so I could show you the image that's in the public domain! URGENT! TheJusticeDept FoxNews TuckerCarlson elonmusk

You literally just reported on Biden himself spreading misinformation.

Break the machine!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sounds like CNN is getting some competition.

It is his company and he can do what he wants. If people wanted Twitter to be something else then maybe they should have bought it. If people don't like Twitter then leave. The only one holding you back is you.

What is your definition of misinformation Anything a republican says 😂 just because you don’t agree with something , doesn’t make it misinformation! 😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And you can always depend on the Clown Network for telling the Biggest Lies. Most of the Old Liers are in Unemployment Lines.. Don’t forget to bring Hot Coffee with you Crybaby

Misinformation IS the DRIVER of American politics and has been for YEARS. But sure, THIS time it's different!

You people are pathetic & spew more misinformation than anyone. Which is sad because it’s your job to verify before reporting anything as news. I researched & fact check all politicians & find democrats to be the biggest liars but all you do is parrot their bull crap

That is funny considering it'son , the Comedy News Network

CNN

CNN HAS NO SHAME AND THAT'S WHY THEIR RATINGS ARE NEXT TO MSNBC AS THE LOWEST RATED OPINION SHOWS ON CABLE!

Isn’t CNN laying off as well?

Kyle Rittenhouse is a RACIST, WHITE SUPREMACIST, Murdering MAGA.

Vote Common sense. Not Communism.

Only a Democrat would say that.

Whatever. CNN is the king of misinformation. One big propaganda machine of complete nonsense.

Lol

Elon has said multiple times the algorithm has not changed.

Like the misinformation in the last election where the democrats got trumps account removed and cancelled anyone who they saw as a threat. Got to love the hypocrisy

CNN talking about misinformation Bahahaha! CNN is misinformation!!

Well, of course CNN

Basically the want Kyrie to convert to Judaism.

Start with fact-checking 'the end of democracy.'

Fake News

these people are so sour they wont be able to censor people/news etc

Still waiting for 'breaking news' on DNC controlling social media narrative by using the DHS to ENFORCE their party's agenda and promote their candidates. An assault on the FIRST AMENDMENT. Seems more important than a private company NOT interfering in the debates, aye? No Blue.

Oh do feck off

As oppose to the absolute trus worthiness of the information we've received over the past couple of years? 🖕

At this point in time IMHO media pretty much sucks. Page one for a month and the retraction on page 84 for five minutes.

Lol cnn you have been blackout .. no boody is getting yur news like before. Thanks to elonmusk for taking over and shutting this sh1ty media house news on twitter. This news would be headline on twitter if musk dint buy it.

🤣🤣. Nope.

Can't they just learn to mine?

ohh Boy I think we have a computer problem in the USA, I forgot why, lots of data and precursorary software joebiden yiu should call SecretService and Spy on your enemies, sir

Blah blah no more communist echo chamber

that's the whole point....

maybe it's tweeter is behind the Election

Oh. OK Some Irish person....and this has nothing to do with elections..but everything to do with trying to cover and drown out the following:

American propaganda

Lol cry more.

Not CNN complaining about misinformation.

Good. Ita time that people now forget politicians since Masshiha is born 😎

Here at mocking bird lane, we have bird seed! Repeat what we say my big ear parrots! We are your master (HMV), listen and comment now! SqawkingParrotsRepeat ListenToOurMasters NeverThinkOnYourOwn ObeyNoMatterWhat

I would like to hear some actual examples of current 'misinformation' floating around that news papers, campaigns ads, campaign speeches, tv news, birdwatch notes, political commenters and others commenting cant actually address.

Yeah doesn’t seem great.

“These are the things we do, why wouldn’t he do them” said the clowns in the green room. Nothing has even happened yet. Sad 😔 I mean 🤡

But this is already misinformation? Lmfao 🤡🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤡

Hahahahaha

More like free speech more prominent! Let's remember most of us were right about covid while they lied to you!

Cry more.

Wow sour grapes much

They have a right to quit Twitter but would keep tweeting about criticism of new Twitter instead. That’s good proof of free speech here.

Bahaha such baffoons.

IOW, ideal situation for Elon. Bye, bye democracy.

U go girl ! YGG…

Misinformation LOL

Cnn talkin bout misinformation 😂

Dems are in full panic mode about 'misinformation' (=truth that doesn't fit the narrative) for election week. Thankfully, most people see through your BS nowadays. I have a funny feeling that Dems will scream StolenElection where they lose (just as they did in 2016)😅 RedWave

Laptop from hell. 🙂

CNN warning of misinformation is kind of ironic

Yawn.

oh the irony is thick

Lmao THEY REALLY HATE FREE SPEECH AND THINK YOU ARE STUPID

COULD 🤔🤔🤔 🤨🤨🤨

All information should be readily available for viewing and critique. Anyone who disagrees is an authoritarian.

😭😭😭😩

CNN is the Mecca of disinformation.

Pfizer announced they stopped putting ads on twitter so some misinformation is already gone.

This is misinformation lol

Red Wave Baby. 🇺🇸

Lol cnn talking about misinformation. They are the experts I guess

I guess Musk doesn't want employees running away like Trump did with documents that could harm Twitter's security

Dude is trending. I am not living Twitter for an reason lol

😎🇺🇸🖕🏻

This normally happens during any takeover and at least they got 3 month’s severance pay

I’m still confused as to why a liberal Canadian nudist is in the Speakers house at 2:30 am wearing nothing but tighty whiteys?

Market forces are driving us to a breaking point in so many ways, as market forces are purely concerned with making profits at the expense of everything else: Workers Beauty Respectful environment Health Sustainability

Good!!

Why is CNN worried about a private company while they cheered on the most abusive shut down of small business and the destruction of our kids. Pushing poison and unscientific lies Hey clean up your house then worry about private companies

dems crying now that they are losing control of twitter

Kind of like CNN?

That’s not good for Biden’s jobs report 😧

So what? you really freaking cause you can't control everything on Twitter. That's really why

If people can’t think and discern for themselves, then they deserve to get a lousy and corrupt government.

Reminds me of a child crying to daddy after mommy said no

Yes it will be more difficult for the left to suppress truth

Mess

Is this tweet Russian disinformation like Hunter's laptop? I hire tech/programmers and the moment I see 'Twitter' on a resume, I will assume they have a 'God' complex and trash the resume.

In other word’s they are afraid it will be saying the truth !

'CNN discuss misinformation!. or Standard company policy as it's known there...

Oh, how scary to find out the truth in Election Week. Looks like Satan is starting to fry the Democrats

Misinformation is cnn code for - truth they don’t like.

CNN interpreted: Misinformation = Anything exposing or questioning the sanctioned narrative of their masters.

Elon will always be a defender of truth. cnn is fake news

Voters can go to the gas stations, super markets. Dem rum cities see homelessness increase in crime etc they don't rely on twitter to form an opinion on how poorly the country has been run!! clutching at straws!!

Misinformation? Using the word “misinformation” is misinformation. If you can’t tell the truth from a lie or be true to yourself with your beliefs, then it’s on you. Never let CNN, FOX or anyone else what is real. Do the research, stick to your beliefs, don’t waffle.

ClownShow 🤡🤡 Fortunately, nobody really listens to you anymore, as it's clear that you are the kings of FakeNews

aaaand a blaaa' man and a woman so diversity is met. Competence? Who cares. CNN is on the way out. Does Lemon still work for CNN?

You probably didn't realize that the former Twitter executive senselessly hired about 4000 workers and after that operation he fell into enormous loss I would do the same, I would fire everyone who does nothing his too

'misinformation worse' otherwise known as censoring and cancelling people on the right whilst left wingers can be as abusive as they please and lie as often as they like.

He just gave twitter an healthy dose of Metamucil.

Misinformation? Like hiding the Hunter Biden story before the last election?

When will cnn terminate their employees? Reason cnn is struggling is due to their existing staffs. Shuffling them from one time slot to another won’t make a difference. If viewers are turned off by them, why would they have a change of heart? ThisMorning sucks!

Dont worry we will all uphold your monopoly on misinformation 😅.

Come on now this is a disgruntled employee, X employee.

Quit telling me what is or isn’t misinformation. I can decide for myself.

Former Twitter employee isn’t someone too be trusted obviously

It’s been out for about 6 months that Musk would buy Twitter. If you were a left wing propagandist working for Twitter, you should have seen the writing on the wall.

When only 25% of the political spectrum is allowed to speak and be heard on all major platforms, that is election tampering. You better fix your false information reporting because you will all be held accountable for your civil rights violations after these historic midterms.

The irony

Sound the alarms… you can’t let the opposition be able to speak freely

Lmfaoooo It’s misinformed when it’s something democrats don’t like. Who at Twitter suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020? You’re such hacks.

The word 'misinformation' no longer really has any meaning. It seems to have become code for 'Information we deem dangerous to our agenda'.

Oh, the same people who claimed the Hunter laptop story was 'misinformation'. Bye bye 😂

Oh no. How terrible. Misinformation to sway and manipulate voters...... what does TIME have to say about this? Oh wait, this is how you guys won your last election. By your own admission. Double standard.

Elections have been a Sham long before Twitter. Clearly nothing on earth can change that.

CNN discussing misinformation 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hilarious 😂

Fake news

Firing thousands of people with no warning is not ok. No matter who you are or what side you stand on. Holiday season is approaching and rent is at an all-time high. You can at least change the rules and give people the option to either get with the program or quit.

More sour grapes from unemployed libs. Lol.

2020 set a pretty high bar, with Twitter being the main source of the misinformation.

Misinformation: stuff that makes the Democrats look bad.

'Misinformation'. Noun. Meaning: information that does not suit the propaganda efforts of major US/global corporate and financial institutions. Synonyms: truth, facts, reality.

Funny to see the defeated faces on cnn’s panel

'His sister calling for peace' - you said when Sherelle Smith urged to destroy the suburbs.

“Misinformation” is just everything they don’t like.

lol

“We are worried because it will get harder for us to push our misinformation during the elections”

Censoring cases like hunters won't be easy to do...

CNN this is why everybody hates you and your ratings are plummeting. Stop spreading misinformation and lies! OMG!!

CNN spreads propaganda.

So libs are mad they can no longer control the political messaging in this country, love to see their huge hissy fit all over my timeline

The Iranian regime commits crimes against humanity, more killings of protesters, where are the human rights organizations?⁉️

Libs are mad they can't interfere in the election as easily as they did last time.

Fired, salty and useless, the rats flee to another propaganda outlet.

🤠

Natasha Bertrand is CNN, right

How can it be worse than your network covering up the Presidents families corrupt dealing in Ukraine and China

Biden spews misinformation all the time. He says real earnings are going up. They are not. They are going down under Biden. He said gas was $5 Jan 2021. They were under $3.

Irony is so rampant these days but liatnon those who need to see it the most.

Dear world i messiah free u of all religions except bible orthodox judaism Although being a christian just means fashion like cross and holidays zero fasts like islam and extra commandments

Liars. Confirmed that twitterindia twitter was playing dirty games all this while. After a long time elonmusk has ensured the re-appearance of dozens of people/institutions I follow on my timeline. All earlier complaints to twitter twitterindia elicited zilch response.

Yes, the other side misinformation, as opposed to their side of misinformation, who's they been doing shamelessly for years 🤣🤣, case on point?, Hunter Biden story.

In this context I read 'misinformation' more like: messages not matching our own (left) political views and ideas, rather than actual lies.

So, it will be harder for Dem/Left propagandists to suppress info it wants to hide? Like news of the Hunter Biden laptop that Dems convinced Twitter, Facebook etc. to suppress in 2020? Great!!

Or maybe we’re far better off in a free-speech, free marketplace of ideas, where people can apply their own scrutiny (👍🏻👎🏻) and/or offer counter notions… because has proven how disingenuous, politicized and deeply flawed fact-checking can be

Its ok because all the gullible people said they were leaving

They would help they demoncrats since they are the masters of that

In other words libs are mad because free speech can’t be stopped.

Elon should have a threesome with Miss Argentina and Miss Puerto Rico. That would cheer him up I bet.

It couldn’t get any worse than it was. What he meant was our dem lies wont be as easy to put out there.

Oh god the truth might slip out!

Not 'misinformation'. Just information that the cathedral disagrees with.

No shit

This is weak for liberals.

Typical America hating Liberal beta nerd. 🤡 democracy Democrats Liberals Progressives AOC JoeBiden climatechange socialism Fascism marxism communism globalism Globalists NewWorldOrder illuminati FascistDemocrats

lmfao poor commie news network. elon is removing all the Rtards,woke clowns and left wing agitators . Time for the same thing to happen to

$8 NOW

If they were so good at foretelling the future, they wouldn't be unemployed would they?

Kinda like hunter biden's laptop being Russian propaganda... Oh wait

Twitter is the biggest social media, and a massive overhaul of Twitter at this time will definitely affect this election

Do you really think that’s possible ?😅😅😅😅

The situation is getting worse

🤡👍🏻

Operative word here is “former”.

Actually make it better without all the Liberal Bots working overtime and paid by Twitter.

Misinformation is the information the powerful do not want you to see. We are all adults and should not be censored. elonmusk

Why do you hate free speech so much cnn

SethAbramson Forileign money bought Twitter, Lonnie is just the dupe (like Trump) they used to get it. This is the whole reason the over paid by $20 billion.

Two words. Hunter Biden’s laptop.

CNN makes misinformation more likely before the election!!! Nothing new for cnn!!!

CNN a leader in misinformation. Polls show overwhelmingly that people do not trust the news media. That is your fault. Trust is earned and you have failed. Anyone who is politically biased in their “news” is a propagandist regardless which side of the aisle they’re on.

SethAbramson Wanna stop seeing misinformation? Stop reading & watching CNN - America’s greatest source of Fale News!

Oh here we go here's the narrative for next week lol

Just don’t read any White House, Biden or other elected Democrat post. They are all lies.

Bring on counting the votes the same day! Unless you need to figure out how many dead people you should addd!!

Twitter is in good hands....no worries....

PROPAGANDA!

So many lies

Can't be any worse than the misinformation in the 2020 cycle that buried the Hunter Biden laptop story. IJS

Now that's 😁 funny. Not so sure that was a big concern before. Hunter laptop, Russia dossier, etc etc

Lmao! As apposed to Russian collusion and the Hunter laptop story!? Gtfoh

😂😂😂

That was the goal.

It’s full blast at CNN

No With new man in charge We will finally have fairness to both left right ↔️ And people or stories will not be blocked 🙂 Finally

Not news. Disgruntled ex-employees say all kinds of things.

Lol go vote— don’t base your vote on Twitter. Sinpl

Lol...SO WHAT?!? CNN spews misinformation and straight up lies daily. It's UP TO YOU TO RESEARCH WHAT YOU READ. Lol the layoffs just mean fewer leftists tech dbags get to censor people they find offensive

And by misinformation, she means information not in cahoots with the left.

Shut down twitter now…. It’s honestly a horrible platform now!

This is journalism today. No basis, all feeling.

Lmfaooooooo

The employees that got fired from Twitter today were anti American communist Democrats.

Only if they get jobs at mainstream media news outlets

There are many other sources for reputable news. Why rely on Twitter for your news?
