Irwin confirms resignation
Ella Irwin, Twitter’s head of trust and safety, confirms her resignation from the company in a pair of tweets. She does not say why she resigned, but the move comes just after Musk criticized Twitter’s handling of tweets about a documentary that questions transgender medical treatment for children and teens. Irwin says “one or two people noticed” that she left Twitter the day before and notes speculation about whether she was fired or quit. She also jokes about posting 24 tweets to explain her departure.
In all seriousness, I did resign but this has been a once in a lifetime experience and I’m so thankful to have worked with this amazing team of passionate, creative and hardworking people. Will be cheering you all and Twitter as you go!
Just kidding folks. 😂 There’s no thread. In all seriousness, I did resign but this has been a once in a lifetime experience and I’m so thankful to have worked with this amazing team of passionate, creative and hardworking people. Will be cheering you all and Twitter as you go!
