Elon Musk ends remote work at Twitter, warns employees of 'difficult times ahead'
Activists have put pressure on advertisers to drop Twitter ads after Elon Musk's acquisition of the company and laying off of half its staff.
Musk told employees the "priority over the past 10 days" was to develop and launch Twitter's new subscription service for $7.99 a month that includes a blue check mark next to the name of paid members - the mark was previously only for verified accounts. Musk's project has had a rocky rollout with an onslaught of newly bought fake accounts this week impersonating high-profile figures such as basketball star LeBron James, former U.S. President George W.
Twitter hasn't disclosed the total number of layoffs across its global workforce but told local and state officials in the U.S. that it was cutting 784 workers at its San Francisco headquarters, about 200 elsewhere in California, more than 400 in New York City, more than 200 in Seattle and about 80 in Atlanta.
The FTC said in a statement Thursday that it is "tracking recent developments at Twitter with deep concern."
