Musk’s Trust Tumble: X Scrambles to Rebuild Safety Team Pre-Election
X, formerly Twitter, is hiring two dozen safety and cybersecurity experts pre-election. This move follows CEO Elon Musk’s controversial dissolution of the trust and safety council two years ago.
Hot Take:
Elon Musk’s latest attempt at staffing up X’s trust and safety team is like trying to put a Band-Aid on a bullet wound – it might cover the hole, but the real damage is already done.
Key Points:
- X (formerly Twitter) is hiring new trust and safety staff after Elon Musk previously gutted the team.
- The new roles include positions like director of strategic response, government affairs managers, security engineers, and threat intelligence specialists.
- Earlier this year, X announced plans to establish a Trust and Safety center of excellence in Austin, TX.
- Since Musk’s acquisition in 2022, around 80% of trust and safety engineers were reportedly fired.
- The company faces precarious revenue projections for 2025, raising questions about the long-term viability of these efforts.
