NEW YORK (77 WABC) – Trouble at Twitter. Twitter has blocked its developers from making changes to the app to prevent it being sabotaged by left-wing staff angry at Elon Musk’s $44billion takeover. Musk’s promise of free speech has caused an outbreak of hysteria among liberal social media personalities who are threatening to quit the social media giant.
Musk has joined criticism of its moderation policies which are accused of disproportionately targeting conservative voices, but his critics claim he will allow ‘hate to flourish’. Twitter has banned any product updates that are not ‘business-critical.’, The move aims to prevent angry staff from ‘going rogue’, a source told Bloomberg.
Musk’s takeover is set to be completed in six months. Staff are only guaranteed jobs up to that point but ‘no layoffs are planned’ at the social media platform.
