Outside of normal working hours, Twitter did not reply to a request for comment from Bloomberg News.
Esther Crawford who was one of the chief executive officers of Twitter Blue, the app’s subscription plan, was one of the employees let go, Platformer’s Zoe Schiffer disclosed in a tweet on Sunday.
In the days that followed Musk’s acquisition of Twitter last year, she famously posted on Twitter a famous post that staff members will often have to #SleepWhereYouWork to stay on schedule and fulfill deadlines.
Crawford wasn’t quick to react to a comment request which was sent out after normal business hours.
A few young entrepreneurs who entered Twitter through takeovers in recent years, along with the founders of the newsletter enterprise Revue as well as the design company Ueno, wrote on Twitter on Sunday that they, too, had been fired.
Originally, Twitter avoided laying off founders to avoid having to accelerate the disbursement of greater stock grants, according to people who are acquainted with the business.
According to three persons acquainted with the compensation packages, several pioneers got additional compensation packages as a result of the purchase of their businesses, presumably raising the cost to fire them off because their stock and incentives are compensated out.
