Elon Musk's dissolution of Twitter's public relations department
Following his purchase of Twitter, Elon Musk dissolved the board of directors and appointed himself as the sole director of the company. Elon Musk has the power to hire and fire employees and can decide what is best for the company. The move is likely to annoy some Twitter users.
Twitter's public relations department has been an incredibly important part of the company's success. But the new CEO has been met with criticism from many quarters. Not only have celebrities and politicians announced their departure from the service, but even a top Democratic leader has called for a national security investigation, predicting that Twitter will become a "sewer of hate speech." Meanwhile, European regulators are waving their arms over Musk's acquisition of the company.
While Elon Musk has never claimed to be a politician, his recent comments have made it clear that he has political ambitions. He's stated that he'll vote Republican in the upcoming election, and has endorsed conservative Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a presidential candidate in 2024. Musk has also said he is willing to invest up to $25 million in the campaigns of centrist political candidates.

No advance notice of mass layoffs
Twitter is facing a class-action lawsuit by former employees who claim they were laid off without proper advance notice. Twitter is required to give 60 days' notice to its employees, but Twitter allegedly did not do so. The plaintiffs are asking for an injunction that would prevent the company from laying off employees without advance notice.
Twitter said it would send email notification on Friday to employees who were affected by the layoffs. The emails will detail next steps for those affected. A Twitter spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment. But the company did acknowledge that it had made a mistake. It is unclear what the exact nature of the layoffs are. Some employees are worried that Twitter will allow disinformation to spread.

As a result, some employees are filing a class-action lawsuit against the company for failing to give them 60 days' advance notice. The lawsuit alleges that the company is denying people of their right to fair notice and a chance to appeal the decision. The company has declined to comment on the lawsuit.
