Musk has been critical of twitter for suspending accounts and other actions over harassment and extremist views today must hinted at more of his plans for the platform. Ktvu is tom baker talked with experts about what might lie ahead. Whether from the air or down on the ground, twitter had no obvious signs of masses of blade offered fired employees, leaving it San Francisco headquarters. Its new private owner, ellen must said at some point in time, he would lay off three quarters of twitter staff, saving him a billion dollars while eliminating some 5600 jobs. Earlier this week must walk that number back at an employee meeting but set no new number. I worry that hes going to get rid of most of the moderation staff, which are the people that keep twitter safe and civil, or at least somewhat safe. And civil edward chen, a former twitter Data Scientist who manage much of twitters data, told the Washington Post that such severe cuts would put twitter users at risk of hacks and exposure to offensive materials. But part of it has to do with trolls and bigots and cyber bullies and others out there who have just made the lives miserable for a lot of people, and if hes going to cut any staff, i think this problem gets a million times worse, twitters former executive said. Some 238 million active users was up more than 16 better than the same period a year ago, but must said twitters own data shows less than 7 of that number. Just 16 million users. See the majority of twitters adds a Wedbush Securities financial analyst is quoted as saying. It will be a Herculean Task to turn this around. And while theres no longer a public shareholder appointed board for twitter must can do with twitter, whatever he wishes, since the First Amendment does not apply to private companies, but advertisers the very lifes blood of twitters finances have the power of the purse. If you want to make your money from advertising, you cant make it into a place that people do. Dont want to be or feel uncomfortable because hes brands dont want to be associated with bigotry or violence, but again without a board. Must can choose to go for subscriptions continue to innovate the process to do his best to get users to spend money or have a paid for platform or other services offered. Tom vacar ktvu fox two news.
