Yoel Roth, the head of safety and integrity at Twitter, said in a tweet earlier this week that the company just fired half of its employees, including people on the trust and safety team.
Twitter Inc. fired about half of its employees on Friday after Elon Musk bought the company for $44 billion. Now, Bloomberg News says, the company is reaching out to dozens of those people and asking them to come back to work.
Some of the people who are being asked to come back were fired in error. Others were fired before management realized that their work and experience might be needed to build the new features that Elon Musk has in mind, the report said, citing people familiar with the moves.

Staff at the social media company said on Twitter that teams in charge of communications, content curation, human rights, machine learning ethics, and some product and engineering teams were wiped out.
In Elon Musk’s first major change to the social media site, Twitter’s app was updated on Saturday in Apple’s App Store to start charging $8 for the popular blue check verification marks.
