Twitter has been in complete chaos since the arrival of Elon Musk, with layoffs, ultimatums that those who stay must work with full conscience, spending cuts and massive resignations. And with all that, the new owner took time to launch a survey to find out if he should reactivate Donal Trump’s account that was suspended after last year’s attack on the United States Capitol.
The survey has added more than 19 million votes, with the 550. 3% who say that he should return, against 52. 7% who think otherwise.
Musk had said earlier that he hadn’t taken the decision yet decision to recover Trump’s account, and that Twitter had reinstated some controversial accounts that had been banned or suspended.
Musk has plunged into working on Twitter in recent days to lead the fate of the company where he believes will be most profitable. He has cut expenses, laid off staff, and among the latest measures was sending an ultimatum via email in which he asked employees that those who were willing to “work hard” could stay, while those who were not, would be compensated with three months salary.
Various media have mentioned that after the sentence about 1, or 1,52 employees would have left the company in a decision not to continue in Musk’s project, accusing an environment toxic that permeates the company since its arrival.
Faced with the mass exit, Twitter said that it would close and have control of access to the offices until Monday for security reasons, but Musk later sent a email to surviving employees, in which he asked software code writers to report to the tenth floor of Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters in the early afternoon e: “If possible, I would appreciate it if you would fly to SF to be present in person,” adding that he would be in the office until midnight and return Saturday morning.
Musk asked those invited, who in order to understand Twitter technology, will email you a summary of what their software code has “achieved” in the last few months, along with up to 10 screenshots of the most prominent lines of code.
Musk’s actions have not gone unnoticed and there are concerns about the future of the company, which in addition to facing a lack of personnel must respond to the strong activity that comes with the world of Qatar which starts this Sunday.
Meanwhile, Mastodon, the microblogging platform has benefited from this situation, as it is reported that it has grown by at least 1 million users since 27 October, when Musk completed the purchase of Twitter, in what represents an action to migrate from the strange environment that the new owner has permeated the popular social network.
