Twitter staff cut by 80% after Elon Musk took over
CNBC, citing internal documents from Twitter, reported that after the arrival of Elon Musk, about 80% of employees left the company. Twitter currently employs 1,300 people. At the same time, about 75 of them are currently on vacation, of which 40 are engineers. So the number of active workers is even less.
According to internal documents, Twitter has about 1,400 idle employees who are still being paid. According to CNBC, many of them wrote letters of resignation after Musk’s ultimatum, when in a corporate email he gave employees a choice – work hard or quit.
Such a serious reduction in staff (before Musk’s arrival, the company employed about 7,500 people) may affect the ability to maintain the social network’s performance. According to an engineer who left the company and wished to remain incognito, the Twitter codebase is simply huge, and knowledge of various platforms and programming languages is required to maintain the performance of different parts of the social network. There are 550 engineers left on Twitter, and their resources may simply not be enough to implement all that Musk has in mind.

The Spanish court changed its mind. Telegram blocking in the country has been temporarily suspended
On Friday, a Spanish court ruled to block the Telegram messenger in the country, and today the same court suspended its own ban.
created by DALL-E
Spain’s High Court has suspended its own order to block Telegram in the country. The reason is waiting for a police report on the impact of the temporary ban on users. Let us remember that the original resolution was supposed to be temporary.
Thus, for now Telegram in Spain continues to operate without breaking the law, and then, as is now clear, the situation will depend, among other things, on the police report.
