Since Twitter was acquired by Elon Musk, the employees and its verified users are having a hard time. After his announcement of the ‘Blue-Tick’ fee, he has been facing backlash. However, in reply, one of the richest men in the world has said that it was necessary to boost the company’s revenue. Notably, this is not the only issue he has been facing.
Apparently, Musk recently announced that the employees have to either work long hours or leave. This was done to create ‘Twitter 2.0’. Since then, a lot of employees have either been fired or resigned. In the last couple of days, the netizens feel that the micro-blogging website might be heading towards its end. Meanwhile, the company’s new owner has asked users to join the live coverage of FIFA World Cup 2022.

FIFA World Cup 2022 marred by fixing rumors
The tournament will start on November 20 with the game between hosts, Qatar and Ecuador. Talking about the tournament, it has been marred by the reports of fixing from the regional director of the British Middle East Center for Studies and Research, Amjad Taha. He claims that the Ecuador players are bribed to lose the opener by 1-0 in the second half.
“Exclusive: Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players $7.4 million to lose the opener (1-0 ⚽️ 2nd half). Five Qatari and #Ecadour insiders confirmed this. We hope it’s false. We hope sharing this will affect the outcome. The world should oppose FIFA corruption.

“Just a heads up if anyone sees a story about Qatar bribing Ecuador 7.4 million to lose the opening game – it started here from a well-known disinformation account who is somehow also the main source in the story @amjadt25. It’s already got thousands of RTs though,” he posted on Twitter.
