Elon Musk Set to Slash Twitter Workforce by 50%

0

Following his acquisition of Twitter for $44 billion, reports reveal that Tesla CEO Elon Musk is set to slash the company’s workforce by 50%.

Musk, who is currently acting as an interim CEO at the company has been consulting his team of advisors regarding job cuts and other policy changes, as he plans to inform Twitter staffers of the major layoffs on Friday, Nov. 4.

Heads of teams at the company have been mandated to prepare a layoff list, which would slash their respective teams by 50%. Also, employees will be shortlisted based on their contributions during their tenure at the company.

Recall that immediately after his takeover from the company, Musk fired some top executives such as Twitter’s former CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, General Counsel Sean Edgett and Head of Legal Policy, Trust and Safety Vijaya Gadde.

The company which has a total number of 7,500 staff, with half of its workforce soon to be slashed, will mean that only about 3,750 employees would be left at the company. However, laid off staff may be offered 60 days’ worth of severance pay, according to the report.

Aside from the slash in the company’s workforce, Musk has also disclosed that he will abolish the remote work model, therefore mandating that every employee is expected to be present at the workplace.

This doesn’t come as a surprise as he had done the same at his Tesla company, where he told his staff members that remote work is no longer available, which he also set expectations for working in the office full-time.

Musk’s decision to lay off 50% of Twitter’s workforce will come as a shocker to some employees at the company, after he had earlier doused tension about 75% job cut, assuring them that he does not plan to do so.

The billionaire denied previous reports that he said he hoped to slash three quarters of Twitter’s workforce during a visit to the company’s San Francisco headquarters.

However, due to his unpredictable nature, a number of Twitter employees voluntarily left the company prior to his takeover, rather than work in a dramatic and unpredictable workplace.

Meanwhile on Twitter, Musk has changed his Twitter bio to read “Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator” and appears to be reveling in his complete control of the company.

“Twitter is simply the most interesting place on the internet,” he tweeted Wednesday. “That’s why you’re reading this tweet right now.”

On the other hand, Musk has not yet disclosed plans of how he intends to reshape the company, but he is clearly on a mission to cut costs at the company, given the outrageous amount he had to pay during his take over deal.

WhatsApp Increases Number of Group, Video Call Users with ‘Communities’ Feature

0

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced the launch of new features for its subsidiary platform WhatsApp. The feature dubbed “Communities” comes with polls, expanded room for video calls and chats.

Meta said the Communities was introduced earlier this year and has been in testing since. The company added that it has been working with over 50 organizations in 15 countries to build the Communities.

“Today we’re launching Communities on WhatsApp,” Zuckerberg said. “It makes groups better by enabling sub-groups, multiple threads, announcement channels, and more.”

“We’re also rolling out polls and 32-person video calling too. All secured by end-to-end encryption so your messages stay private.”

The company said “there is more we plan to build and we’ll keep adding features over the coming months.”

The plan is to expand the messaging app’s features as part of Meta’s efforts to widen the scope of its social media products and services in the face of growing competition.

How it works

The Communities tool is designed to organize multiple group chats into one place. This enables a school, neighborhood or office to be joined together with a number of different chats. Administrators can then send messages to everyone in that community.

It will appear as a tab at the bottom of the app. From there, users can start a new community, or join existing ones.

WhatsApp said that this new feature will be available to everyone over the next few months. The Independent quoted the company saying that it had focused on “privacy and security” with the new feature, and said that it offered safety that was not “not found anywhere else”.

“The alternatives available today require trusting apps or software companies with a copy of their messages – and we think they deserve the higher level of security provided by end-to-end encryption,” it said, seemingly referring to alternatives such as Discord and Slack.

Another significant part of the feature is the poll. Users will be allowed to create and take part in polls with their chats. Also, the group video calling has now been expanded to support up to 32 participants.

In addition, the number of users in a group has been increased from a maximum of 512 to 1,024, doubling the group’s size in a potential bid to stand up to rival Telegram which allows a maximum of 200,000 users per a group.

“With Communities, we’re aiming to raise the bar for how organizations communicate with a level of privacy and security not found anywhere else,” WhatsApp said in a blog post announcing the rollout.

“The alternatives available today require trusting apps or software companies with a copy of their messages – and we think they deserve the higher level of security provided by end-to-end encryption.

“Once you’re in a community, you can easily switch between available groups to get the information you need, when you need it, and admins can send important updates to everyone in the Community.”

CryptoPunks Loses Traction to Find Buyers While BudBlockz Is Growing in Popularity

0

CryptoPunks is one of the top cryptocurrencies severely affected by the 2022 bear market. The well-known token has suffered significant losses since the beginning of the year, leaving buyers with hefty losses.

But new cryptos with solid foundations, clear governance/tokenomics, and exceptional use cases in profitable market sectors, like BudBlockz, are expected to exceed CryptoPunks in 2023.

BudBlockz’s ($BLUNT) low token price during its presale is gaining much attention from investors worldwide.

CryptoPunks NFTs Losing Steam

CryptoPunks remains one of the most talked-about NFT collections in the industry. Sales of the 10,000 pixelated cartoon heads are still generating millions of dollars in monthly volume.

Unfortunately, the highs that Larva Labs (developers behind CryptoPunks) reached in 2021 have yet to be replicated in 2022.

After getting to its all-time high (ATH) of approximately $680 million in August 2021, sales of CryptoPunks began to stall during the final months of the same year. As a result, investors have lost around 80% of their investment so far.

CryptoPunks started the year with a monthly sales volume of over $124 million in January. However, an overall decline in all facets of the crypto market led to sales sinking to just $25 million in August.

It was the seventh consecutive month that sales of tokens fell below $100 million.  It was also the lowest sales since June 2021’s $19 million — a 14-month low.

While many analysts attributed the decline in sales to the switch from highly volatile assets to non-volatile assets such as bills and bonds, the consistent plunge in the number of buyers and transactions confirmed a severe downward trend.

The dip in sales has led to many investors in the digital collectibles industry asking whether CryptoPunks will start to get surpassed by other NFT collections gradually.

In September, BudBlockz ($BLUNT) flipped CryptoPunks, becoming a point of reference for many analysts.

BudBlockz ($BLUNT) Likely to Be the Fastest-Growing Cryptocurrency

Huobi Token (HT) Depreciates amidst Global Crypto Fall

Huobi token (HT) depreciated as the dip took a toll on the crypto world. Over the last couple of days, it dropped from $9.10 to $8.63 and has continued to fluctuate without reaching its previous highs.

Investors are concerned about the Huobi Token (HT) price, considering the impact on their investment. Many believe that if the situation doesn’t improve, investors in the Huobi Token (HT) are at risk of losing their investments.

Neo (NEO) Hit by the Dip

The Neo token has not been spared by the dip. The token has also depreciated significantly as investors keep hoping for a better future in the crypto industry.

Within the last 24 hours, it has lost 1.05% of its value, a trend that has continued for several days, raising concerns over the token’s future.

Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) Unfazed by the Dip

While the aforementioned tokens have suffered heavily from the depreciation that swept across the crypto industry, Orben Protocol (ORBN) remains unfazed. Over the last week, the token has justified investors’ confidence in it. The Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) token launched at a price of $0.0004 and is already increasing.

What is the Orbeon Protocol (ORBN)?

The venture capital and crowdfunding industry has helped many investors and businesses over the years. However, the industry is fraught with many flaws that hinder its progress. The Orbeon Protocol platform aims to address these flaws and completely revolutionalize these industries.

Orbeon Protocol is an investment platform that makes it possible for anybody to invest in promising early stage businesses from only $1. To give prospective users a glimpse into its offers, the Orbeon Protocol team explained that “Start-ups will be able to raise funds and engage with their community by offering reward and equity-based NFTs. Each investment opportunity will be minted into an NFT and fractionalized, enabling anyone to back and invest in brands they truly believe in starting from as low as $1.”

How does it Work?

If a company wants to launch a funding round, the investment opportunity is minted into an NFT on the Orbeon Protocol platform and then fractionalized. Investors are then able to make smaller investments into the business it wants to back effortlessly without prohibitive capital outlays and other barriers to entry.

For businesses not only are they able to raise the capital that they need to grow and become the next Unicorn’s but they are also engaging with and building a community.

Why the Orbeon Protocol?

One of the several challenges to investors of the Venture Capital industry is the limited access they have to the next unicorn companies. Such access has for decades been limited to large institutions while an average person can only dream of an opportunity to back at an early stage a future Facebook or Uber..

Businesses also struggle with raising capital quickly. It may take a long time before they gain the support and recognition required to take their businesses to the next level. This is in addition to the overwhelming regulatory red tape they have to contend with.

Through Orbeon Protocol, now dubbed “a challenger VC”, businesses can now raise funds effortlessly and at a cheaper cost through Orbeon protocol’s NFTs-as-Service (NFTsaS).

To remove the stress of finding the right investment opportunities and the vulnerability to scams that investors have to struggle with, the team introduces a marketplace where investors “can find vetted real-world businesses that are looking to raise capital as well as the next promising crypto projects.”

The Orbeon Protocol presale is now live. Experts are excited at the prospect that the price of Orbeon (ORBN) will climb to $0.24 per token, which is a massive increase of around 6000% ROI.
