Sam Bankman-Fried Breaks Social Media Silence With Commentary on Layoffs

The imprisoned former FTX CEO posts a 10-tweet thread addressing workforce reductions and Elon Musk's federal employee ultimatum.

Sam Bankman-Fried, serving a 25-year prison sentence for fraud, posted on X for the first time in over two years through a proxy.
His 10-tweet thread offered reflections on layoffs, expressing sympathy for government employees and emphasizing the challenges of firing staff.
The posts referenced Elon Musk's directive requiring federal employees to report weekly accomplishments or face termination, a controversial push for workforce efficiency.
Bankman-Fried's tweets coincided with a brief 30% spike in the value of FTX's token, FTT, though the token's price later stabilized.
It remains unclear how Bankman-Fried's posts were published, as inmates typically lack direct access to social media.
