The man who served as Twitter's chief engineer has left the company just one day after the platform's disastrous performance during the launch of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign.
BBC News reports that engineering boss Foad Dabiri sent out a tweet on Thursday afternoon stating that "after almost four incredible years at Twitter, I decided to leave the nest yesterday."
Although no official reason has been given for Dabiri's departure, BBC notes that it coincides with a high-profile engineering disaster that occurred when Twitter CEO tried to host DeSantis' launch event on Twitter spaces, only to see the event crash on multiple occasions.
Twitter has been beset by chaos and controversy ever since Musk bought the company last year.

Among other things, Musk has reinstated the accounts of multiple white nationalists who had previously been banned for hurling racist abuse at other users; has fired roughly 80 percent of the company's workforce; has promoted fringe right-wing conspiracy theories, such as the false claim that Nancy Pelosi's husband was secretly having a love affair with the man who assaulted him last year; and has gotten rid of the traditional "blue check" system for verifying public figures and has replaced it with giving a blue check to anyone who pays him $8 a month.
