Edward Perez says that “manufactured chaos” by bad actors will be even riskier thanks to Elon Musk’s own mayhem.
The staff shortages worry those monitoring the elections too. “I spoke to Elon Musk,” Jessica González, co-CEO of US media advocacy group Free Press, said at a press conference on Friday. “He promised to retain and enforce the election integrity measures that were on Twitter's books before his takeover. With today's mass layoffs, it's clear that Musk's actions betray his words.
Never mind getting the mind-space to do their work amid a maelstrom, there’s also the simple issue of whether there are enough staff there to handle what the election may bring. Speaking on Friday afternoon, Perez didn’t know how many people in Twitter’s election integrity team were still at their post. His product team was only one part of Twitter’s election organization. The civic integrity team in all, including product and engineering staff, alongside policy experts in different regions, was more than 100 strong.
