First the finance chiefs… and now the compliance chiefs. I'm honestly shocked at how quickly Musk is destroying Twitter as a functioning business.

I still see a lot of people assuming these layoffs are a money problem. It's not. These massive companies still have lots of money. They could pay you if they wanted to. It might be useful to learn about why they don't wanna pay people right now.

Wow. Elon Musk just told Twitter employees he’s not sure how much run rate the company has and “bankruptcy isn’t out of the question.”

According to messages shared in Twitter Slack, Twitter’s CISO, chief privacy office, and chief compliance officer all resigned last night. An employee says it will be up to engineers to “self-certify compliance with FTC requirements and other laws.”

Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton)Thu, 10 Nov 2022 15:13 GMT

do you know what level of fuckery is required to get your CISO, chief privacy officer, and chief compliance officer to all resign at once? i suspect we’ll have a good idea of exactly what’s going down by EOD and it’s gonna be Bad.

With a recent increase in the number of accounts suspended from the social media site, The Onion examines all the things that will get you permanently banned from Elon Musk’s Twitter. bit.ly/3UsAJOW

Any Twitter engineer being asked to certify compliance to a regulatory agency (such as the FTC) should seek independent (their own) legal advice before signing anything or making any statement to regulators. This is a bus you do NOT want to be thrown under.

The "return to office" mandate is likely an attempt to get more employees to quit so that he doesn't need to pay severance. It doesn't help productivity, profitability or morale.

never meet your idols (@Obersts001)Thu, 10 Nov 2022 15:52 GMT

So Musk sent his first Twitter email at 230 am, told his remaining ~4k staff they all must work in-office now full-time; the overall economic picture 'is dire;' that Twitter 'will not survive the upcoming economic downturn' unless the business becomes 50% subscription based...
