Sina Technology News Beijing time on August 26 morning news, it is reported that because Musk abandoned the $44 billion acquisition, the US social media Twitter and Musk were caught in a legal lawsuit, and at this critical moment, another Twitter executive left, the news was also confirmed by the company official.

The outgoing Twitter executive is Sandeep Pandey, vice president of engineering. Pandi, who has been working on Twitter for more than a decade, will move to rival Meta, the parent company of Facebook, after leaving.

It is reported that Pandi joined Twitter in 2012 and was promoted from an ordinary engineer to vice president of engineering.

In an email to the media, a Twitter spokesman confirmed that Pandey was about to leave the company and said his departure was "natural" given the changing trend in the industry. The spokesman stressed that the company is still under the effective management of the management.

Meta, the target company that Pandee defected to, had no comment.

It is reported that after joining Meta, Pandi will work in the company's artificial intelligence and machine learning department.

Pandi's departure at this time has had a big impact on Twitter and is unusual for Meta. Before that, Meta said it would comprehensively slow down the pace of social recruitment this year and reduce the total number of employees at the same time.

In the second quarter of this year, Meta suffered its first quarterly decline in revenue. Meta is facing an antitrust lawsuit from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for acquiring a tech startup in the virtual reality industry (already facing antitrust lawsuits for acquiring two social media companies).

Pandee is not the first executive to leave Twitter this year. Earlier, the head of Tesla, Elon Musk, announced that he would buy Twitter for $44 billion. Since then, a number of Twitter executives have left in May, including Katrina Lane, vice president of Twitter services, Ilya Brown, vice president of health, and Max Schmeiser, head of data science.

In addition, in the internal restructuring of Twitter, the company also fired several executives, including Kayvon Beykpour, the head of the product, and Falk, who is in charge of product revenue.

After reaching the initial acquisition agreement, Musk backed out and announced that he would abandon the acquisition on the grounds that Twitter had lied to him about the number of fake and robot accounts on the Twitter platform.

Just recently, Twitter also faced a storm of negative public opinion about user security and privacy. Peiter Zatko, Twitter's former head of security, acted as a whistle-blower, accusing the company of serious inaction on cyber security and user privacy, such as problems with data protection systems and violations of federal regulations. Zack filed a series of complaints with regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice. However, Twitter officials refuted Zach's revelations, saying there were false statements.

After Zack's revelations, the data protection agencies of the European Irish and French governments also told the press that they would follow the Twitter issue of Zack's revelations. It is reported that on September 13 this year, the US Senate will hold a hearing to ask Zack to report various security problems on the Twitter platform.

In addition to this storm of negative public opinion, Twitter also faces the same operational difficulties as other technology companies. In May, Twitter announced a total freeze on social recruitment, and two months later, Twitter fired 30% of its recruiting department.
