Tesla CEO, Musk, also sacked top executives including CEO Parag Agrawal and announced large-scale layoffs that reduced Twitter’s workforce in half.
Now, another top official of Twitter has tweeted about leaving the company on the micro-blogging platform.
Lea Kissner, Twitter’s Information Security Chief, shared a tweet to confirm resignation from the company. In 2021, Kissner joined the Twitter family as Head of Privacy Engineering, and was promoted earlier this year to the Chief Information Security Officer.

I’ve made the hard decision to leave Twitter. I’ve had the opportunity to work with amazing people and I’m so proud of the privacy, security, and IT teams and the work we’ve done.
I’m looking forward to figuring out what’s next, starting with my reviews for @USENIXSecurity 😁

Elon Musk made an announcement that the company will put an end to its permanent remote work policy as well as asked the employees to get ready for a “dire” economy. He also tweeted that, to get a twitter blue badge, only $8 will be paid henceforth per month, instead of $20 per month.

Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit.
Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.

The new Twitter Boss also mentioned that the platform needs to generate significant revenue to be able to pull through the economic downturn.
