Among those dismissed from their current role was Twitter’s head of consumer Kayvon Beykpour who said the company CEO, “asked me to leave after letting me know that he wants to take the team in a different direction.” The move reflects the company’s changing culture that is expected to be a top priority of Elon Musk. Revenue product lead Bruce Falck is also set to leave the company.
