Elon Musk’s Job Cuts Decimated Twitter Team Tackling Child Sexual Abuse
• Musk has said removing child exploitation is a top priority
• Small team has been halved in size since Musk’s takeover

Elon Musk has dramatically reduced the size of the Twitter Inc. team devoted to tackling child sexual exploitation on the platform, cutting the global team of experts in half and leaving behind an overwhelmed skeleton crew, people familiar with the matter said.

The team now has fewer than 10 specialists to review and escalate reports of child sexual exploitation, three people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be identified for fear of retaliation. At the beginning of the year, Twitter had a team of about 20, they said.
...

While only a few employees were cut in the first round of layoffs, the team was decimated when Musk called on Twitter’s workers to commit to a “hardcore” culture or lose their jobs, the people said. The people said that Musk didn’t create an environment where the team wanted to stay.

The defections were part of a broader exodus at Twitter’s trust and safety team, which left after Musk sent the ultimatum this month, people familiar with the matter said previously.
