Elon Musk is purging half of his Twitter team, and in many cases, entire teams. Among these teams are those that dealt with election misinformation. As the US midterm elections approach, these employees will likely face a new challenge: defending the company's product against this type of misinformation.
Machine-learning ethics, transparency and accountability team is gone
Elon Musk's massive layoffs have left a number of people wondering what happened to the ML Ethics, Transparency and Accountability (META) team at Twitter. The team's job was to analyze the company's algorithms, explain them to its users and publish the findings - something that tech giants have not often done. Director Rumman Chowdhury confirmed that she had been laid off, but added that she was happy to be out of Twitter now that Musk is in charge.
Twitter's mass firings of engineers is yet another sign that Musk is attempting to restructure the company. The company's execs have dismissed the META team as "redundant" and have hired a new, more experienced team to take their place. Twitter has also eliminated its human rights team, which investigated complaints of abuse by Twitter users.

Revenue product team is gone
If you are a Tesla fan, you've probably wondered why Elon Musk's Revenue product team is no longer with the company. After all, it was Elon Musk who created the company in the first place. But things didn't go as planned. In 2008, the company was struggling and Elon Musk had little money to save the company. Instead, he teamed up with Google to save Tesla, and within months the company was launching a capsule to space. He had two teams of engineers and executives working twenty-four hours a day, making sure that parts were delivered on time. He had to save the company - and it took some serious money to do it - but the team beat expectations and the stock soared.
Some employees have been affected by the cuts. Some employees tweeted that they were unable to get access to internal systems and assumed they were being laid off. Others were able to get emails confirming their employment and letting them know that Musk would be speaking to them soon.

Revenue product team is almost entirely gone
Elon Musk's Revenue product team is practically gone, and the company is suffering because of it. Musk has admitted to being inconsistent, and his company is falling behind on its goals. Starlink, a satellite internet company run by SpaceX, is well behind expectations, having only 0.625% of subscribers as of March 2022 and 1% of its revenue goal by 2025. While missed projections are not fatal for most managers, the lack of consistency is troubling.
While Elon Musk's Twitter team is almost entirely gone, the CEO didn't respond to a request for comment. The company's cutbacks hit other areas, such as ethical AI, social good, and communications, as well as core engineering teams. Arnaud Weber, the company's VP of consumer product engineering, was among the victims of the mass layoffs. Another team that lost employees was the human rights team, which protects people in danger during global conflicts.
