Musk Stops Firing, Starts Hiring
After the richest man in the world bought Twitter, he declared that major changes were ahead. It seems that he has finally managed to articulate a vision of what is informally called Twitter 2.0.
Musk has claimed that he is done firing
Twitter staff and plans to start hiring, US media has reported. The comments reportedly came during an all-hands meeting with Twitter employees.
While he did not specify what type of
professionals he is going to look for, he did hint that the company is going to look for software developers. The Twitter website does not list any open positions.
“In terms of critical hires, I would say people who are great at writing software are the highest priority,” Musk said.
Leaks in mass media indicate that Twitter headhunters are already contacting engineers and asking them to join "Twitter 2.0".
Musk shared his vision of a brand new Twitter with the staff - a “digital town square” which represents "people with a wide array of views even if we disagree with those views.” Ironically, for the last few weeks, Musk has fired dozens of employees for tweets that criticized him, media reported.
