Public policy apparently isn\u2019t hardcore<\/a> enough for Elon Musk<\/a>, either.<\/p>\n

Despite regulatory scrutiny in the U.S. and abroad, Twitter laid off members of its public policy team Wednesday night, Erin Woo of The Information<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

It was unclear how many people were affected, and anyone at Twitter answering questions from the media is long gone, but Woo shared a tweet<\/a> from public policy team member Theodora Skeadas reporting her layoff and saying that one-half of the team was eliminated.<\/p>\n

And now it is my turn to say goodbye.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was my last day at Twitter, as half of the remaining Public Policy team was cut from the company.<\/p>\n

In other news, Musk said in a tweet<\/a> Thursday that a view count feature is being added to tweets, writing, \u201cThis is normal for video. Shows how much more alive Twitter is than it may seem, as over 90% of Twitter users read, but don\u2019t tweet, reply or like, as those are public actions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twitter is rolling out View Count, so you can see how many times a tweet has been seen! This is normal for video.<\/p>\n
