Elon Musk Celebrates ‘Peak Time’ in Twitter Usage During Developer Exodus

Twitter owner Elon Musk tweeted an upbeat message saying the company had hit a big hit in usage late Thursday, a day when many employees decided to leave the company.

It was the second time in a week that the social network has set a record, according to Musk, who said it reached its highest number of daily active users on November 11. In another message sent this week, the billionaire — He did not give himself a job title on Twitter after receiving a “primary Tweet” and and “complaint hotline operator” for short — he posted a chart showing the rising user numbers since his purchase. Musk has long disputed the accuracy of Twitter’s internal metrics, saying they are unreliable due to the abundance of fake or bot accounts.

Earlier on Thursday, Twitter decided to abruptly close its offices after many employees reacted negatively to Musk’s decision to stay in a “difficult” new workplace or go on layoffs for three months. Many employees decided to lay off, creating a cloud of confusion over whether people should still be able to access the company’s assets, Bloomberg News reported.

Uncertainty hangs over Twitter’s ability to continue normal operations after the company fired its top team and laid off half of its workforce in Musk’s first few days. The new leader has even reversed many of the decisions he made, including recalling laid-off workers who were working on things he wanted to add.

Musk also explained about the “Official” Twitter label attached to the accounts of well-known public organizations or companies. His signature $8 (roughly Rs. 600) Blue Verified subscription offering has been delayed to November 29 “to make sure it’s robust,” Musk said.
