Fair enough, a lot of them were probably just being paid to warm seats anyway, and as a tech guy he probably knows more effective ways to run it.
Also, if he wants less moderation, that obviously means less staff

it's his company, he could make himself the only employee if he wanted

The previous board were the problem with twitter. It hasn't generated any income in years, you cant blame musk for that. The guy is a prick, but its his company now, he can do what he wants with it

I’ll never understand finances ..

He says they are over staffed and losing £4 million a day then sacks 4,000 workers giving them all 3 months severance pay !?

Surely that’s gonna cost an absolute fortune in the coming days / weeks !?

its a finite cost though, and paying them 2 months is a lot less than paying them indefinitely

I'm not generally a fan of the idea of verified ID being required for everything but the initial idea behind Twitter was that people would use their real name and photo... it was never intended to be an anonymous trolling platform but that's what it increasingly is becoming.
I'd say do it the other way round - absolutely no accounts should have visible ties to your real identity. You can't be "trolled" if no-one knows who you are

Wait a min, isn't Reddit like that? You don't log in, and when you post it's just a random string of numbers?

3 months wages for half the staff payable up front ( now ) seems like a massive outgoing / expense if they are leaking money each day though

I see what you're saying but after the three months, they'd certainly see the difference.

I saw reports he’d offered more than the set 2 months amount to appease everyone

Elon Musk says Twitter users engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying it as a parody account will be permanently suspended.

Twitter previously issued a warning before suspending accounts, but there would now be no warning, he announced.

A number of accounts that changed their name to Elon Musk and mocked the billionaire have already been suspended or placed behind a warning sign.

Twitter's billionaire new owner took over the company late last month.

At the end of last week he laid off around half of the company's workforce.

He has also confirmed plans to allow users to buy blue-tick, verified status.

Detailing the new policy on parody accounts, Mr Musk tweeted: "Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning."

He added that "any name change at all will cause temporary loss of verified checkmark".

He’s an overgrown toddler that’s bought a social media company to punish those that make fun of him, it’s actually so pathetic
