Elon Musk unveiled his Twitter 2.0 — the Everything app — on Sunday, saying new user signups are at an all-time high and the company is actively recruiting.
Musk, who laid off more than half of Twitter’s workforce, said “world-class software aces are joining Twitter.”
Sharing some company slides he shared with Twitter employees, the world’s richest man said the next-generation Twitter will focus on advertising as entertainment and video.
“We’re recruiting. Active user minutes are at an all-time high and monetizable daily active users (mDAUs) have surpassed a quarter of a million,” Musk reported.
“Hateful impressions are lower, reported impersonation rises and then falls,” he added.
After relaunching Twitter’s “Verified” blue badge for $8, Musk will now bring encrypted direct messages (DMs) and long-form tweets to the platform.
He said the goal is “a trusted digital marketplace, where a wide range of views are tolerated, as long as people don’t break the law or spam.”
“For example, any incitement to violence will lead to the suspension of the account,” he stressed.
Musk previously said he had reinstated former US President Donald Trump on the platform as Trump had not broken any laws and the microblogging platform “must be fair to all”.
Based on a survey, the CEO of Twitter on November 20 had announced that former US President Trump was allowed to join the microblogging platform.
