That's nothing to do with number of engineers you have.

It might be. He fired a whole lot of moderators who would oversee the removal of content which, among other things, would be distasteful to advertisers. It’s possible that before Musk joined Media Matters would not have been able to find anti-semitic posts next to Apple advertisements due to their removal by moderators.

Twitter was a bloodthirsty cesspool before Musk too. Maybe it got worse, I don't know, but the big difference is that buyers started to pretend to care since they did not like him.

A significant fractions of this layoffs weren't engineers but instead worked on moderation. When moderation was gone, antisemitic tweets (among others) became ubiquitous, which drove advertisers away.

I rarely see proper anti-semitic posts in Twitter. The problem is that people keep on insisting that posts condemning Israeli government illegal and immoral actions are anti-semitic. If anything, I welcome that people now can ask how Israel gets a pass of refusing to implement UN resolutions that back from as early as 1948 without any consequences.
