Musk issues ultimatum to Twitter employees: Commit to long hours of ‘hardcore’ work or leave Thursday
Anyone who did not do so by 5 p.m. Eastern time Thursday was told they would receive three months of severance pay, the email, which was shared with The Washington Post, added.
A week ago, Twitter debuted the product, which gives users a blue check-mark icon next to their name for a fee of $7.99 a month, and promises to reduce the number of ads they see by to half, as well as giving their posts additional visibility. By Friday, the option disappeared amid a rash of fake accounts impersonating everyone from President Biden to basketball star LeBron James.Sign-ups were paused Thursday night and the service wouldn’t “relaunch” until Nov.
The launch — and its backtrack — was the culmination of a whirlwind couple weeks of ownership for Musk, who bought the company for $44 billion late last month.
About 150,000 users were subscribed to Twitter Blue — which encompasses Blue Verified — at the time of the pause, according to one of the people with knowledge of internal matters, a figure corroborated by internal data on tweets from Verified accounts and an external analysis. That’s less than one-tenth of 1 percent of the roughly 250 million people estimated to use Twitter each day.That subscriber figure would bring in only $14.
