Elon Musk fired the entire team that identified that the Twitter algorithm amplifies right-wing voices over others.

Not the first time we have seen staff — particularly Black employees — punished for flagging how their company's products enable & amplify racism. #TwitterLayoffs

#TwitterLayoffs is lit right now on Twitter.

I heard Elon specifically used the N-word when announcing to the black people he was firing them

Lmao. Makes sense. White woke people are demanding not to be fired because some of their coworkers are black. White woke using black people as a shield for the 80008773728th time..

Perfect 'frick you' would be for Elon to bring all the black employees back...and just keep the white woke employees fired.

Tinu has no idea how to make a company profitable

You don't drive profitability by firing the CEO, whole board and half the employees randomly. This is some other agenda/insanity.


Cutting the fat is exactly how you drive profitability

It's hilarious because the Twitter employees, from top to bottom, were the ones who destroyed Twitter. How the hell would keeping those assholes who only push political biases make Twitter profitable?

I wouldn't even let some of those Twitter employees run a lemonade stand in my front yard, because I'd be worried that they would do some crazy woke shite like refusing to sell to nondemocrat white people and nondemocrat black people.

Nope. Mainstream racists in the US are always leftists.

The Babylon Bee should have written this headline yesterday because it was obviously going to show up

“Twitter lays of 50% of workforce. Women and minorities most affected”

Ever noticed people that have never been linked in any shape or form to racism suddenly are deemed racists when their views differ from the left or stand up to the left?

Twitter wasn’t profitable before and wasn’t “on the cusp” of profitability. So her point makes no sense.

This is actually what usually happens when a new owner buys a company. Purge top leadership, cut the fat, replace needed positions with your own people that share your vision
