Twitter's head of trust and safety, Ella Irwin, says she's resigned from the company.
Irwin confirmed the news to Reuters after Fortune's Kylie Robison reported that Irwin's Slack had been deactivated, citing a screenshot. Musk, who was recently in China for his first visit to the country in three years, has not posted about the news.
According to her LinkedIn, Irwin joined Twitter in June 2022 before Elon Musk acquired the company.
According to Bloomberg, Irwin left Twitter in the early days of Musk's tenure but was asked to return amid surging resignations.
Irwin did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, made via LinkedIn outside normal working hours.
Irwin is Twitter's second trust and safety chief to quit following Musk's takeover. Her predecessor, Yoel Roth, resigned on November 10, weeks after Musk acquired the company. Roth survived Musk's initial round of layoffs, which affected around 50% of staff.
Roth reportedly disagreed with Musk in private over issues including his choice to allow some previously banned users, including Jordan Peterson, to return to the platform, The Washington Post reported at the time.
In the Twitter Files, commentator Bari Weiss accused Roth and other execs of being a part of a "secret group" that made controversial decisions about which users and tweets would be allowed on Twitter.
Representatives for Twitter replied with an automated message that did not address the question.
