Misinformation, paying for verification, troll campaigns: a recap of Twitter's chaotic first weekend under new ownership
lon Musk dropped more hints over the weekend about ways he’d make Twitter more profitable, now that his $44 billion acquisition of the social media platform is complete. Internally, employees continued to speculate about widespread layoffs, two employees told TIME.
Musk’s reign at the company so far, one employee said, exhibited “textbook dictator tactics: sow[ing] fear and confusion.” The billionaire also amplified a lurid and baseless right-wing conspiracy theory about the Oct. 28 attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a tweet that was later deleted. Some media and policy analysts saw this as a bad omen for the spread of misinformation on Twitter under Musk.reports. Some Twitter employees were told to meet a deadline of Nov. 7 to prepare the new feature or they would be fired, according to the report.
