NEW NORMAL: Elon Musk says Twitter purge is over, will start hiring again
during an all-hands meeting at Twitter, following weeks of terminations that left roughly two-thirds of Twitter's original 7,500 employees out of a job, the Verge reported Tuesday. Musk says the company is now looking to make hires in engineering and sales, the outlet reported.
Musk emphasized that his leadership was a "moderate" not "right-wing" takeover of the company in response to a question about whether the company might move to Texas."If we want to move the headquarters to Texas I think it would play into the idea that Twitter has gone from being left-wing to right-wing, which is not the case," he told employees. "This is not a right-wing takeover of Twitter. It is a moderate-wing takeover of Twitter.
"It may seem as though Twitter is U.S.-centric but if anything it’s Japan-centric," he said, according to the Verge. "There are roughly the same number of daily active users in Japan as there are in the U.S., despite the fact that Japan has one third of the population of the U.S."
