He shared a Twitter slack message about an opportunity to recall people who were let off. Names are to be compiled on Sunday, two days after the mass sacking, and if critical people would like to help the company, they should be nominated.

Reports also flew around on Sunday, that some who were let go, received messages to return, citing their dismissal as an accident. It would seem that 3,700 people, who account for around 50% of the staff on Twitter were asked to leave. Elon Musk came out on the 5th of November to defend his decision, claiming that money was being lost in the millions daily, and he had no choice.

The layoff included Human Rights and Ethical AI departments, the product and engineering departments, as well as communications, content curation, and machine learning policies. 

Some speculations point to a crafty attempt to get out of paying the 3-month severance package, because they were asked to come back and they choose not to, which technically constitutes resignation. Others believe that critical members of the engineering team and product team were fired, and without their presence, Twitter would crash.

Whatever the case, this gives them leverage for re-negotiation.

Yet many wonder how the turmoil in twitter’s workspace, would affect the crypto space. On the 10th of November 2021, Tess Rinearson tweeted about the Twitter crypto team. Built to decypher out how Twitter can further develop the crypto space, and capitalize on the benefits of decentralization.

The first aim was to focus on already existing projects, and how Twitter can help push the limits of community, identity, and ownership.

They are also working closely with Bluesky, a decentralized project founded by Jack Dorsey. This pivotal Twitter crypto team then hired people in both Engineering and product departments, hopefully, they survived the mass sack.
