SAN FRANCISCO, California --
No other social media platform comes close to Twitter as a place where public agencies and other vital service providers - election boards, police departments, utilities, schools and news outlets - keep people reliably informed. Many fear Musk's layoffs will gut it and render it lawless. But a Twitter employee who spoke with The Associated Press Friday said it will be a lot harder to get that work done starting next week after losing so many colleagues.
Several employees who tweeted about losing their jobs said Twitter eliminated their entire teams, including one focused on human rights and global conflicts, another checking Twitter's algorithms for bias in how tweets get amplified, and an engineering team devoted to making the social platform more accessible for people with disabilities.
As the emailed notices went out, many Twitter employees took to the platform to express support for each other - often simply tweeting blue heart emojis to signify its blue bird logo - and salute emojis in replies to each other. In a tweet Friday, Musk blamed activists for what he described as a "massive drop in revenue" since he took over Twitter late last week.
No coincidence that it’s so close to the election, musk is a bully without conscience
Good 😀
