Twitter engineering chief Foad Dabiri has announced he is stepping down, in a move that comes a day after the platform launched Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign announcement on diskette. . He admitted that Elon Musk’s October 2022 purchase of Twitter had done “tough” work, with a lot of “outside noise”, but it had put a positive spin on the situation. According to Dabiri, he had learned a lot from the experience. He didn’t elaborate on what was behind his decision to quit Twitter, and whether it was related to issues surrounding the DeSantis presidential candidacy event. Twitter has yet to comment on Dabiri’s resignation. His remarks followed DeSantis’ entry into the White House race on Wednesday, being hit with issues due to a malfunctioning Twitter live stream. US media reported that initially 500,000 people tuned in to watch, but when the event finally started after a 20-minute break, only half that number remained. Musk, who bought Twitter for $44 billion, told British media last month that cutting the company’s workforce of around 8,000 people at the time he bought the company at around 2000 had not been easy. The laid off employees included dozens of engineers responsible for operations and technical troubleshooting of the Twitter site. The DeSantis campaign, meanwhile, announced that despite the glitches-filled Twitter event, the Florida governor managed to raise $8.2 million in his first 24 hours as a presidential candidate. By comparison, former US President Donald Trump has raised around $9.5 million in the six weeks since announcing his candidacy for the White House in 2024 in mid-November 2022.
