The #ThereIsHelp feature, which was intended to offer information for preventing suicide along with specific content, had been deactivated by Twitter.
    According to a report by Ars Technica, Irwin emailed Reuters, the news source which broke the story, immediately after it was published to confirm that the function had been temporarily deleted. Once Twitter was completed, she promised that it will be reinstated this week, once Twitter finished u201cfixing and revamping our prompts.u201dElon Musk, who later claimed that the functionality had never been disabled, refuted Irwin’s claim, which caused the situation to take an odd turn. Following that, Musk reminded people that Twitter doesn’t prevent suicide and called the Reuters piece false news.As soon as word of the feature’s disappearance spread, Reuters published another article claiming that it had been withdrawn and then reinstated. Elon Musk, who wants to do rid of all useless features on Twitter, gave the orders for everything to be done, from the feature’s removal to its reinstatement. The deletion and restore orders, according to two insiders quoted in Reuters’ second article, came directly from Musk.
     Source : Firstpost This is not the first time a Musk employee has contradicted him on Twitter. When Elon Musk recently complained that the app was sluggish in a lot of nations and that he apologises for it, an engineer working for Twitter named Eric Frohnhoefer publicly called Musk out for it. His biggest criticism was that the software loaded slowly in some nations and quickly in others.The tech tycoon and the engineer argued before Musk abruptly announced that Frohnhoefer had been fired rather than discussing the situation in private and working things out.There are several such cases where former Twitter employees were fired for defying Musk.Irwin, who joined Twitter’s trust and safety team in June, became the division’s top employee after Musk became CEO and her supervisors quit or were fired.The Washington Post stated that internally, the suspensions of journalists by Twitter over the entire doxxing-Elon-Musk-and-his-jet issue were noted as being authorised not by Musk but by the direction of Ella.Share your thoughts with us in the comments
