Twitter has laid off 50% of its employees, the company's head of safety and integrity said on Friday in a tweet, while saying that the social media platform's content moderation capabilities remained in place.
Company-wide, the layoffs affected 50% of employees, he added, which was the first confirmation from Twitter about the size of the layoffs.
With the U.S. midterm election just days away, Roth said combating harmful misinformation remained a top priority.
"Again, to be crystal clear, Twitter's strong commitment to content moderation remains absolutely unchanged," Musk tweeted shortly after Roth's own tweet.
Major brands like General Mills (GIS.N) and General Motors (GM.N) have said they have stopped advertising on Twitter.
