Twitter is pausing most hiring this week as two executives are leaving the company, a spokesperson confirmed on Thursday.

The news comes as billionaire Elon Musk seeks to complete his $44 billion deal to buy the company and take it private.

Head of consumer Kayvon Beykpour and revenue product lead Bruce Falck are leaving the company, the spokesperson confirmed. Reuters earlier reported that CEO Parag Agrawal told employees the news in an email.

Twitter said it will pull back on non-labor costs as well and that Jay Sullivan would take over as general manager of Bluebird and interim general manager of Goldbird.
