On Tuesday, the Financial Times reported that the EU had demanded Musk hire more moderation experts in order to comply with the bloc’s new regime for regulating social media platforms, while the US Federal Trade Commission is investigating the company amid concerns that Twitter’s ability to protect users might have been affected by redundancies. Since Musk completed the $44bn (£37bn) takeover of Twitter in October last year, the workforce has been reduced from 7,500 employees to about 2,000.
