Rumman Chowdhury, the former director of Twitter's machine ethics team, expressed serious concerns about Elon Musk's impact on U.S. federal agencies during a SXSW panel. Chowdhury criticized Musk's chaotic management style and its effects on staff retention, recalling Twitter's significant layoffs post-acquisition. She highlighted that Musk's advisement of the Department of Government Efficiency has led to cybersecurity risks amid staff cuts. Chowdhury warns that such instability within the government could hinder crucial services impacting Americans' lives, contrasting it with the corporate realm of Twitter.
