Elon Musk tweeted: "Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4M/day. Everyone exited was offered 3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required."

Additionally, Elon Musk has changed his Twitter signature to "Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator," while also making it clear that Twitter's strong commitment to content has never changed, and that hate speech has dropped below previous normative level.
