Mr Musk has been looking for ways to cut costs and make money in different ways from the platform
But Mr Musk said the social media giant's commitment to content moderation was "absolutely unchanged".insisted in his own tweet Online safety groups and campaigners have suggested Mr Musk might relax moderation policies and reverse permanent Twitter bans given to controversial figures - including former president Donald Trump.
Mr Roth added that combating misinformation remained a "top priority" during the US midterm elections. Most Americans will vote on Tuesday, in a key test for Joe Biden's presidency.
Without all these people how will Twitter be able to maintain the high level censorship?
Bad for some, sure, but it sounds like it needed to be done. Now he should move the whole company to Texas. i.e. move it from the most expensive of all 50 states to do business in to the cheapest state to do business in.
If Musk have it his way soon will be nobody left in that company...☹️
twitter has always been a faceless entity, I personally think now a high profile guy like Musk can only damage Twitter, he's a bit of a love him or hate him kind of a guy with far too many fingers in too many pies, should have stuck to Tesla and space x
The rate he is losing advertisers, he will have to sack everyone and still won’t be enough. Perhaps the issue lies with him? Ever thought that ElonMusk ? 🤣
The BBC workforce also needs cutting in half.
Well done, elonmusk
Anyone who worked in corpo knows sooner or later there's 1 manager for 1 engineer, those managers know shit about what's going on. They just know how to play the part, but are uneducated and blindly follow policies that are decided at the top. It's suffocating work environment.
Musk is an existential threat to humanity
Well done Elon drain the Swamp of disgusting Left Wing Extremists.
He can do whatever he wants with his business. It’s a free country!
I wonder how well he is sleeping now.
Musk like most capitalist want to remove democracy in the western world to increase profits. Twitter is too powerful, in its pushback to the politics that are stopping that. $44B is nothing if you can pollute more and pay less taxes over a decade! Bye bye Twitter!
How do we close our Twitter accounts elonmusk TwitterLayoffs Twitter ElonMusk ?
Hoping the tech guys and gals at twitter and the foresight to put in a few surprises in the event of being treated like this.
Hopefully he will buy the BBC and sack all the left wing liars there, so the entire workforce DefundTheBBC
New broom, don’t blame him
Why do good with all your money when you can use it to sack people What a strange world we live in when we enable a few rather strange people to basically own everything….
I'm getting the strongest buyer regret vibes from elonmusk Surely if he returns it with 28 days he can get a full refund. Also, if he used PayPal when purchasing it he could just pretend he didn't receive it, get a refund and still keep it...
And yet twitter is still here, nothings changed, so.... whatever!!
I automatically know it was the right thing to do if the British Brainwashing Company and all the scum left are up in arms.
elonmusk Can you buy the BBC, it needs a clear out desperately.
If you need to defend something, then it's probably questionable.
This is business .
When will joinmastodon?
Little prick, pricking
I see this coming.
Better than having to sack all of them ‘cos it’s gone bust!!
It’s his business now so he can choose the staff that meets his needs like any other owner of a business.
44b should have been more then enough to support the 7000 thousand workers who lost their Job. It is in the sellers responsiblety, to make shure that there employees, get good away by a deal that size.
He really bought this thing with no early idea of how to make it work. Elon is playing checkers in a game of chess.
More erratic behaviour by the chief Twit
He's really messed up. Bought a company losing $4m a day for $44b, threatens to allow hate speech, posts a fake conspiracy theory, publicly supports an anti-semite, then sacks half his workers during a financial crisis, opening Twitter up to legal action in the US and Ireland.
In a couple of weeks he’s going to have to defend himself against ‘deep fakes’. That oughta be interesting!
You're doing a fine job sport don't let nobody tell you're doing different I would have done the same thing
Gank of killer!
Layoff of Musk, why are'nt you mentioning these layoffs ..
He has nothing to defend It took almost 200 years for Plebeians to gain same rights as Patrician’s Now enter digital age where history has rhymed with the past & a playing field is leveled Dropping censorship is 🔑4 freedom of speech survival &🛑sexual exploitation of minors
'I have no idea what I'm doing' elon musk announced today 'I keep firing people and threatening advertisers while taking advice from the far right, and the service just keeps making less money for some reason' he went on to add
he has fucked up big time . ps sorry for the f word

Lets see how Twitter performs over the next few months
Musk is doing his best to make what Zuckerberg is doing with Meta look a slightly less bonkers idea and more sound investment than Twitter.
Maybe Elon Musk should work for free since he likes free speech so much...
*Attempts to defend*.
Left wing activists target twitter's advertiser's costing twitter income. Twitter lays off left wing staff because they are losing money Oh well
In that case, I think that Twitter should separate the department or create a new providence. Thank you very much. Amen X
Fourty 🤣 four 🤣 billion 🤣
Employees, advertisers, and revenue are for cucks
Noel Skum needs to sack himself
.elonmusk fixing Twitter:
He doesn’t have to defend shit, he bought it. If you don’t like it, go build your own platform! ;)
