CBS News halting Twitter activity amid ‘uncertainty’ surrounding platform under Musk

CBS News is halting its activity on Twitter amid the “uncertainty” on the social media site under new CEO Elon Musk.

“In light of the uncertainty around Twitter and out of an abundance of caution, CBS News is pausing its activity on the social media site as it continues to monitor the platform,” CBS correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti said in a segment on Friday.

The announcement came after Twitter employees resigned en masse on Thursday night, in response to Musk’s ultimatum to either get on board with a “hardcore” work environment or leave.

The billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX had already laid off nearly half of Twitter’s 7,500-person workforce in his first week, and another 1,200 are estimated to have resigned on Thursday, per the New York Times.

Musk reportedly emailed employees on Friday, asking “anyone who actually writes software” to attend a meeting that afternoon, according to the Times.
