Twitter ‘chaos’

According to CNN, the fact that Elon Musk openly contradicts an increasing number of Twitter employees and the fact that he fired at least one of them with a tweet is one of the clearest signs of “irregularity” and ” chaos” of the company run by this billionaire. Musk spent $ 44 billion to become the new boss of Twitter after a deal that consumed a lot of paper and ink.

Earlier in the week, Musk got into an argument with software engineer Eric Frohnhoefer on Twitter. It all started with the fact that the 51-year-old billionaire posted a message apologizing to users for Twitter’s slow operation in many countries.

Then, Eric Frohnhoefer, who claimed to have 6 years of working in Android applications at Twitter, quoted Musk’s statement and commented that this information is not accurate.

Both exchanges dragged on and ended with a tweet from Musk that Eric Frohnhoefer was “fired”. The engineer also later confirmed that he had lost access to Twitter’s internal systems.

Elon Musk Fires Employees With Just One Tweet

In an interview with CNN, Frohnhoefer said he learned about the layoffs when a friend sent him a tweet from the company’s boss, adding that “nobody even contacted me from Twitter”.

In the same conversation, Frohnhoefer added, the individual was “ready to try” working under Musk but “everything written in the press is true”. The engineer described working for Musk as “absolutely awful” and the company’s current situation as pure “chaos”.

According to CNN, at least one other employee who commented on the matter was also fired on Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, a number of other employees also lost their jobs with an email saying “their behavior violated company policy”. Many speculate that this is the result of them commenting on Twitter’s changes in the internal channel,

Multiple sources told CNN that employees in recent days have been very outspoken in criticizing Musk in the internal system.

Responding to a tweet about the decision to lay off employees in the past days, Musk said: “I want to apologize for firing these geniuses. Their immense talent will certainly be used a lot in places. other”.

Mass layoffs

The tweet layoffs on the platform come after Musk decided to cut Twitter’s staff in half.

According to investors, this could be a reckless decision and put the platform at risk. Musk also consolidated his control by directly laying off a series of senior personnel when he first took over.

Musk is said to consolidate his control at Twitter by directly laying off a series of senior personnel when he first took over.

According to CNN, Musk currently runs Twitter with the help of “friends” Jason Calacanis and David Sacks and personal lawyer Alex Spiro. Some information adds, there are a number of engineers from other companies, including Tesla, also come to Twitter to work.

Besides some people who are openly opposed, others seem to be trying to express concern to the new leadership about a series of changes that are considered “breakthrough” to the platform.

Internal documents obtained by CNN show that many employees said they were worried about the consequences if Twitter rolled out a green selling service for $8 a month. The document dated November 1 provides a series of recommendations to avoid potentially serious consequences when the company performs this service.

Specifically, many people are concerned that the green selling service may increase the impersonation of famous accounts on Twitter, leading to the loss of trust of famous users.

The service also raises concerns about a “pay-to-play” system in which key voices can’t or don’t pay to sign up (such as “individuals in sanctioned countries”) may be deprived of the right to speak.

In fact, part of the fear has become a reality. Within hours of the paid verification system’s launch last week, Twitter has faced a wave of fake accounts on its platform.

One person named former US President George W. Bush, then posted the derogatory message. Another account claiming to be former British Prime Minister Tony Blair re-shared the above article. The social network itself was also spoofed when the “Twitter” account with a green tick claimed that users could sign up for the free Twitter Blue service if linked to a crypto wallet.

Just a few days after opening the sale of green ticks for $ 8, Twitter suddenly stopped this feature but did not make any announcements.

Faced with this situation, just a few days after opening the sale of green ticks for $ 8, Twitter suddenly stopped this feature but did not make any announcements. It is not clear when the company will be able to restore service.

Faced with a host of problems, Musk warned that Twitter cannot survive the coming recession without an increase in account sign-up revenue that offsets a drop in ad income .
