Twitter collapse continues: Musk warns of possible bankruptcy, Trust and Safety VP resigns, more https://9to5mac.com/2022/11/10/twitter-bankruptcy-ads-collapse/ Musk called this afternoon’s all-hands meeting with one hour of notice. It’s unclear what exactly prompted him to do so, but he seemingly felt a need to share some updated details on the collapse of the company. Musk said that the “economic picture ahead is dire” for Twitter and that the company is “too heavily dependent on advertising and vulnerable to pullbacks in brand spending,” according to the New York Times. The company is “running a negative cash flow of several billion dollars,” Musk told employees, saying that he sold Tesla stock to “save” Twitter. Following that, Musk revealed to employees that two key executives have resigned: Yoel Roth, the company’s head of trust and safety, and Robin Wheeler, vice president of US client solutions. Roth and Wheeler had both taken on forward-facing roles since Musk officially acquired Twitter two weeks ago. Roth had been sharing regular updates on efforts to moderate Twitter and prevent harassment and other safety and trust concerns. He was doing so, however, with a team that was a shell of its former self after Musk’s mass layoffs. Well, that escalated quickly.
