After buying Twitter, Elon Musk pushed out employees while repeatedly warning that Twitter could go bankrupt. These former staffers describe the whiplash.

“I was really happy, I loved my team, I loved contributing,” Ali said. “I was also pregnant, so [leaving] didn’t even make sense on any level” because that maternity leave might not be guaranteed as a new hire at a different company, she said. But in November, shortly after Musk completed his acquisition and weeks before she was set to start her five-month maternity leave, Ali was laid off as part of the first round of mass job cuts under the new owner.

” Of the many rumors that swirled about Musk’s plans for Twitter, former employees say the biggest question internally was whether Musk would conduct layoffs following his takeover. But former employees say they got some reassurance after a June meeting in which Musk responded to a question about layoffs by telling Twitter workers that “anyone who’s obviously a significant contributor should have nothing to worry about.

Guess we should just yadda yadda over the part the Twitter files covers. How many articles did CNN write about the Twitter Files by the way? You know the putsch thing, where they silenced all of conservativedom in social media?

Incompetent 🐖 woke fanatics

. . …Good.

I think he’s launders money

So you found a bunch of pissed off people that were fired. I bet this is unbiased 😂

Weird how you left out that the prior ownership team also planned massive layoffs.

Is Elon Musk the new obsession of CNN? No credibility here

Sorry these people lost their jobs but what about the 1,000s of layoffs at meta, Google, Microsoft, GitHub, yahoo, zoom, PayPal, Groupon, Amazon, sales force, this year? That’s a short list too, it goes on.. this is clearly an attempt at a musk hit piece but not a very good one

Those former staffers got them a big ol’ dose of capitalism.

A bunch of whining leftists

CNN is a joke. The people got fired for a reason. When new boss comes in, that happens. When a new head football coach comes in does he usually keep the old staff? The answer is NO. For some of you football is a sport that has dozens of coaches that answers to one person.

I'm on twitter because of Elon Musk :)

One Clown 🤡 interviewing Four Clowns 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡

Hey, where is the interview on the staff that CNN laidoff?

Unfortunately, any story from CNN has to be suspect. They’ve knowingly lied & misled so often it’s difficult to accept as factual anything published from them in any form. Musk exposed the bias inside big tech causing CNN to go into attack mode against him vs honest journalism.

Elon purchased a 44 billion crime scene

Wahhhhh- cry more.

Is all of this accurate reporting elonmusk ?

Oh so sad. Lmfao 🖕

you guys still trying this, it didnt hurt him the last few months, why do you think it will have any affect now, just stop, you're lame.

Just because you've been fired, that doesn't mean you're completely useless and not worth keeping. Maybe it does.

Entitled kooks got canned.

Justine looks like an unwanted Elon offspring

Why not do this story on Jeff Zucker, Gollust, Chris Cuomo, Kathleen Finch, Alison Kosik, Martin Savidge, Alex Field, Mary Ann Fox and Chris Cillizza and the 400 other employees that were released from CNN and how it affected their lives? Oh wait, you would be fired as well.

Good for Elon! CNN no longer has the right to hire & fire people in their company must be what they’re saying. This station is pathetic. Everything they say are lies! Cover ups. Like COVID , 1-6, 1-6 committee, President Trump. Lie’s NOT NEWS!

Did Google not fire more employees?

Funny how Musk fired 75% of the Twitter workforce and its performance is exactly the same. WTF was that 75% doing

🙄...Who cares about their whiplash? Amazon fired over 18000 people when are we going to hear about their whiplash?

That’s the thing about capitalism…you have to turn a profit. I think your fake news punters/propagandists who employed you while running a huge loss are more to blame for this

I like when media cry on twitter

Oh well. As Biden said to the coal miners, ‘learn how to code’. LOL. Find another job as you enjoy the awesome severance Twitter provided. Many of us (laid off at other companies) did not receive a severance.

myaccessbank u only respond on the platform I tagged you in and yet to do the needful all necessary information you need are in DM pay the bills or refund me

raehanbobby Go Woke Go Broke 🤷‍♂️

raehanbobby Even if twitter went bankrupt, Elon wouldn't lose a fucking penny. the rich set it up so they can fail upwards, every fucking time. There is only one way to stop a Musk and a Trump. It's not by doing the right thing, either.

Spoiled self-centered whiners.

Boo hoo.

CNN is group therapy for people who just can't get a handle on life.

'Pushed out'? Voluntary rif or work in a non-partisan way..... the t-shirts found tell a different tale...

Adult personal responsibility to figure it out.

Four self-righteous ladies on their passionate mission for censorship and exclusion.

CNN ex-boss Jeff Zucker told staff not to probe ‘lab leak’ theory because it was ‘Trump talking point’

The bulbous person that's whining that if she doesn't get another job she's going to have to move out of her apartment... No kidding! What makes you feel as though you're entitled and privileged? Oh I forgot you're a woman. Get woke right?

They all sound entailed for some reason...if given a chance,Do you think all these ladies would go back and work hard for Elon ?...I don't think so.

Who gives a crap.

Everyday I see that Twitter is so much better without these leeches...

He fired them and the company is much more better without them. Shows they're not actually needed.

CNN and News LMAO Why are you not speaking about shadow banning and what happen between 2019 - 2022. People voice was silence in social media by most brutal way. To be honest I prefer to be killed instead to be numb. The Illusion your voice can be heard but was placed in cage.

The lesbian, dressed-up like popcorn's old-man 'Orville Redenbacher', is funny. Not her costume. Not the mocking, male-gender-appropriation, either. S/he wanted Elon for 'his new, fresh views', yet Hissy-Fits they are not 'her old, stagnant views'. Orange hair, she's Chuckie!

She messed up and got fired, don’t see the issue.

You mean the liars and pro no free speech are complaining?

The layoffs were clearly irresponsible, unethical, and inhumane.

Maybe Trump can help pull CNN's ratings out of the toilet.

Twitter will never go bankrupt asking God a for a blessing

Corporate life sucks and then you get laid-off. Someone should inform this round table of whiners that nobody is guaranteed a job, health insurance or the maternity leave you were expecting. Corporations still have the power 'cause they have the $. Go find another musical chair.

We’re not buying anything from these people. Good riddance ✋🏽

last one its thier first non-internship job, ok do cnn layoffs now

Who else bets .ElonMusk will renege on financial commitments - to fired workers, landlords, suppliers - just like the serial criminal tRump?

They were given a deadline in which to 'report for duty'. They pushed themselves out, didn't they?

And who gets 5 months of maternity leave?😳

AP CNN nytimes washingtonpost ABC CBSNews MSNBC NBCNews FoxNews OANN gatewaypundit realDailyWire LarryElder AmericanThinker EpochTimes BreitbartNews nypost bigleaguepol GOP HouseGOP SenateGOP TheDemocrats HouseDemocrats SenateDems

Now do Facebook, Amazon, and all the other tech companies who have laid off thousands of workers over the past 6 to 12 months. Why target one person, and one company? Oh wait everyone knows why. elonmusk is the bad guy, the rest are just doing what's best for their companies?

What does her maternity leave have to do with anything? In fact, what is the point of this article? A RIF was long over due. She they have just kept unproductive employees on staff because they're pregnant?

She wasn’t singled out. Was he supposed to go through every employee’s life history and make decisions based their needs alone? Just stop. You sound desperate

It sucks but shit happens to everyone.
