Yoel Roth said the social media company was not safer under new owner Elon Musk, warning in his first interview since resigning this month that it no longer had enough staff for safety work.

Asked in an interview at the Knight Foundation conference on Tuesday whether he still felt that way, Roth said: "No." Before Musk assumed the helm at Twitter, about 2,200 people globally were focused on content moderation work, said Roth. He said he did not know the number after the acquisition because the corporate directory had been turned off.

The revamp of the Twitter Blue premium subscription, which would allow users to pay for a verified checkmark on their account, launched despite warnings and advice from the trust and safety team, Roth said.
