\nTwitter had a week so strange that it could easily make up this entire newsletter, so we’ll keep to the bullet points:
\nLast week Elon laid off a huge chunk of the company. This week, some of those who were let go were reportedly asked to come back.
\nTwitter started giving blue verified checkmarks to anyone who’d pay $8. Things got chaotic fast.
\nTwitter rolled out a new, second checkmark for \u201cOfficial\u201d accounts. And then got rid of them. And then\u2026brought them back?
\nBy Friday morning, after fake \u201cverified\u201d accounts popped up for everything from companies to athletes to politicians, Twitter paused the $8 verification badge program.
\nA number of execs quit \u2014 to the point where the exits perked the ears of the FTC.
\nElon reportedly told Twitter employees that \u201cbankruptcy isn’t out of the question\u201d for the company.
\nFTX collapses: Once one of the biggest crypto exchanges in the world, FTX effectively exploded this week. It briefly looked like competitor Binance would step in to acquire FTX, only for Binance to take one look at FTX’s books and back out almost immediately. FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has since resigned, and the company has filed for bankruptcy.
\nMeta layoffs: Meta \u2014 the parent company behind Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp \u2014 laid off 13% of its workforce this week. With a worldwide headcount of around 87,000 employees, that works out to over eleven thousand roles cut.
\nGmail will no longer let you go back to old Gmail: Don’t like the new look that Gmail started rolling out back in July? Bad news. While users could previously revert to the old design, the Gmail team announced this week that the new design will be the \u201cstandard experience\u201d for all within weeks.
\nGoogle finds exploits in Samsung phones: \u201cGoogle says it has evidence that a commercial surveillance vendor was exploiting three zero-day security vulnerabilities found in newer Samsung smartphones,\u201d writes Zack Whittaker. \u201cThe chained vulnerabilities allow an attacker to gain kernel read and write privileges as the root user, and ultimately expose a device’s data.\u201d
\naudio roundup
\nLooking for a new podcast to tune into on your commute? Here’s what’s up in TC podcasts lately:
\nThe Chain Reaction crew broke down the absurd collapse of FTX as it was happening.
\nEquity (with a guest appearance from TC’s Becca Szkutak) covered the seemingly endless layoffs we’re seeing from tech companies big and small, and what FTX’s meltdown means for it and companies like it.
\nDarrell was joined on The TechCrunch Podcast by TC senior reporter Dom-Madori Davis to talk about \u201cthe coalition of VCs that are standing for reproductive rights\u201d and to recap the biggest tech stories of the week.
\nTechCrunch+
\nNot a TechCrunch+ member yet? Here’s what members were checking out most behind the paywall:
\nHow ButcherBox bootstrapped to $600M in revenue: How did ButcherBox grow from a modest Kickstarter to $600 million in revenue in just a few years? Haje outlines the company’s path so far.
\nThe Exchange: In his increasingly popular daily newsletter, Alex Wilhelm wonders: Has everyone been valuing software companies the wrong way all along?
