He did not specify what was behind his decision to leave Twitter and whether it was related to the issues surrounding DeSantis’ presidential bid. Twitter has not yet commented on Dabiri’s resignation. His comments came after DeSantis’ run for the White House was plagued on Wednesday when a live Twitter stream failed. US media repoReported Mediased that 500,000 people initially logged on to watch, but when the event finally staReported Mediased after a 20-minute break, only half that number remained. Musk, who bought Twitter for $44 billion, told a British news outlet about the cut last month. Growing the company’s workforce from around 8,000 employees at the time of the purchase to around 2,000 hadn’t been easy. The laid-off employees included numerous engineers responsible for running the Twitter site and for technical troubleshooting. The DeSantis campaign, meanwhile, has revealed that despite the glitch-filled Twitter event, the Florida governor managed to raise a whopping $8.2 million in the first 24 hours to become a presidential candidate. Just for comparison, former US President Donald Trump raised around $9.5 million in the six weeks after he announced his candidacy for the 2024 White House in mid-November 2022.
