the team
In every corner of this company, we work to create a platform for everyone. And there's no other platform that works as hard to protect free speech as X. Our work is critical, but it's not always easy. What we do is important, which means that it naturally invites criticism from those who do not share our beliefs.
While some advertisers may have temporarily stopped investing due to a misleading and manipulated article, the data tells the real story. Because for all of us who work at X, we have been very clear about our efforts to fight anti-Semitism and discrimination, because it has no place in the world.
I encourage you to read and listen to all feedback. On the one hand, there is a vocal minority that seeks to use deceptive attacks to undermine our work. But on the other hand, there are vocal supporters and brave partners who believe in X and the important work you are doing. Hold on to it and keep moving forward. No critic will ever stop us from our mission to protect free speech.
Let's continue to work on our values ​​and rely on each other. I am very proud to be on the front line with you all and I will see you all in the office tomorrow morning.
