Could Twitter shut down? Thousands of employees quit Elon Musk

RIP Twitter la red social podria cerrar

If there is something that is more than clear, it is that since Elon Musk took control of Twitter , the social network has not had a breather. First were the changes that were implemented in the verification system that the social network had, modifications that without a doubt brought a lot to talk about .

Then, the possible changes that were going to be carried out regarding the operation of the social network in general were added, an announcement that apparently upset Twitter employees a lot , since a few hours ago the news broke that hundreds of employees have resigned from Elon Musk .

According to what has been found, Elon Musk sent an ultimatum to all employees about adhering to a kind of cultural reset of the company. This statement fell badly among the employees, as they posted on their Twitter accounts that they were going to leave the company.

As we mentioned above, the current owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, set a deadline for all employees to respond in a form if they wanted to stay in what he calls “Twitter 2.0” . After passing that deadline, hundreds of employees began posting farewell messages, some even claiming that “this will be the last day of Twitter.”

Twitter employees who decided to join “Twitter 2.0” said that, given the magnitude of the resignations this week, the platform could collapse at any moment , something that will only be known as the days go by.

Could Twitter close?

We cannot answer this question, since nobody knows if a social network of this magnitude could collapse. The truth is that Elon Musk made it very clear that Twitter can work without the need to have people working behind it .

Observing carefully the official profiles of the workers who have resigned, we can highlight the following facts:

  • 70% of Twitter workers resigned .
  • No ads are seen on the social network (advertisers might have temporarily left Twitter).
  • Several celebrities have left the platform (closed their accounts).
  • Some employees report failures at a general level .
  • The app for Android and iOS, as well as the web version, are getting slower.
  • Other social networks increased the number of registered users (Mastodon and Tumblr).
