Elon Musk wants Twitter employees to work hardcore



Following the massive layoffs that reduced its employment by half and shortly after the business fired engineers who publicly criticised its new owner, Twitter may lose even more workers. Elon Musk issued an ultimatum to the remaining employees, requesting that they commit to a “very hardcore” Twitter moving ahead. He allegedly sent an email that connects to an online form with the message, “If you are sure that you want to be part of the new Twitter, please click yes on the link below.” What does it mean to be “very hardcore” on Twitter? Musk’s objectives were not fully described in the paper, but the executive reportedly stated that it entails “working long hours at great intensity.” Only extraordinary performance will qualify as a passing grade, he continued. For employees in nations with strict labour laws, it’s unclear if the transfer is lawful. In any case, the email stated that those who don’t sign the form by 5PM Eastern on Thursday, November 17th, will be fired and given a three-month severance package.

Twitter will conduct a postmortem on the $8 Blue subscription launch over the coming weeks in addition to reporting on Musk’s email in an effort to determine why and how it had sparked a wave of impersonators. You may recall that Twitter had to halt its membership service because bogus accounts were receiving immediate verification, which gave them the appearance of credibility. To ensure that it is “rock solid,” the company is delaying the return of Blue verification until November 29th, Musk just revealed yesterday.The Post also obtained internal data and external data assembled by a software developer that revealed Twitter Blue had only about 150,000 users when subscriptions were suspended on the website. That would only generate $14.4 million in revenue annually, a minuscule portion of the 238 million daily active users Twitter claimed it had in the second quarter of 2022.

Additionally, the new Blue subscription might have an effect on the website’s ad revenue. Only 10% of Twitter’s most valuable users contributed to its ad revenue in the US, with the top 1% of users contributing $40 per month. However, because they are also the most likely to subscribe, they will inevitably see fewer adverts as one of the benefits of their subscription.
