After laying off more than 4,000 employees in recent weeks, Elon Musk says Twitter is actively hiring again.

The court hearing on Tuesday confirmed that Alexsey Pertsev, the developer behind Tornado Cash, will remain in Dutch detention for another three months.

Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter, has made no secret of his desire to revamp the social network platform’s direct messaging features. He laid out the specifics in today’s meeting with staff.

According to a recording of Elon Musk’s Monday meeting with Twitter employees obtained by NewsXtra, Musk said the company would not relaunch its paid verification subscription, Twitter Blue, until “we’re confident about significant impersonations not happening.”

Donald Trump said Saturday that he had no interest in coming back to Twitter, even though a poll put together by new owner Elon Musk showed that a slim majority of people wanted to let the former U.S. president back on Twitter after he was kicked off for inciting violence.

Founder and former CEO of the now-defunct Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes, was found guilty on three charges of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit fraud, along with her co-founder and former business partner, Sunny Balwani. A judge handed down a 135-month (roughly 11-and-a-half-year) prison term on November 18, 2022, for her role in a $121 million fraud scheme that bilked ten people.

The U.S. government is still looking into Elon Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of Twitter. Bloomberg reports that the U.S. government is investigating whether or not Musk’s foreign investment partners have access to users’ personal information through the service.

Just hours after saying he hadn’t decided whether to let Donald Trump back on Twitter, Elon Musk, the new social network owner, asked users to vote on letting Trump back on.
