Yoes Roth, the Head of Trust and Safety at Twitter, has reportedly quit the social media company on Thursday afternoon, according to multiple reports.
Bloomberg reports that "Yoel Roth and Robin Wheeler, two executives who until today had emerged as part of Elon Musk’s new leadership team, have resigned, according to another person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing non-public information."
Musk has also been reported as telling his employees that bankrupcy was possible if it doesn't generate more cash.
Last week the company fired half of its staff with Musk stating that the company was losing millions of dollars every day. The company also recently added an $8 per month certification fee.
Roth is notorious for expressing liberal bias and woke talking points on Twitter.
At the time of Musk's aqcuisition, prominent conservatives warned him not to trust Roth. "You will never restore 'public trust' at Twitter when the guy in charge thinks 100,000,000 Americans who support America First are 'Literal Nazis'" Newsmax's Benny Johnson said.
Roth had been a face of reassurance to the many liberals who expressed concern about the staff cuts and how it would affect the company's moderation abilities.
"Yesterday’s reduction in force affected approximately 15% of our Trust & Safety organization," he tweeted in responce to concerns from the left and from prominent liberal public figures. "Our front-line moderation staff experiencing the least impact."
Some celebrities made a show of announcing on Twitter their departure from Twitter. Actress and The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg was one of those people.
“People keep saying it’s free speech, but all speech is not free speech," she said. "Some speech is not okay free speech. So everybody has to agree on that, but if people keep saying ‘You hurt my free speech' it’s going to be a problem. You know what? This is our problem. But it ain’t my problem today because I’m out.”
That's hopeful.
Let me know when we have more than anonymous reports.
