It’s unclear what the entrepreneur anticipated in reaction to this request. More than a thousand employees had opted to depart, causing overall turmoil and prompting Musk to temporarily shut down Twitter operations, including the headquarters in San Francisco.
Since then, there has been a haziness among the company’s staff. In contrast to a CNBC piece that claimed “internal data” and said that the firm had “about 1,300 active, working personnel, including less than 550 full-time engineers by title,” Musk has clarified that there are roughly 2,300 active, working workers at Twitter.
Twitter, which had 7,500 employees at the start of November, shed 5,200 in a little over two months. Furthermore, Musk used the chance to discuss the personnel assigned to safety, while civil rights organisations are worried that the dramatic drop in staff has undermined the platform’s content monitoring.
“There are still hundreds of employees working on trust & safety, along with several thousand contractors.”
Finally, the billionaire has responded to critics who claim he uses employees from his other firms, notably Tesla engineers, to work at Twitter.
