Cut nearly half of Block's workforce (4,000+ employees, reducing from 10,000 to ~6,000) in February 2026, citing AI replacing human roles.

Critics and a former exec alleged the cuts were standard cost-cutting disguised as AI transformation.
Cut 4,000 Block employees in February 2026 citing AI, declaring "AI agents are peers to human employees" and predicting most companies would follow. Posted on X that Block would "use AI to do the work instead" of backfilling eliminated roles. Critics labeled it "AI washing" for financial difficulties; Block stock had fallen 40% since January 2025.
Dorsey left Bluesky's board in May 2024, citing its drift toward centralized moderation as incompatible with his free speech values. He endorsed X as "freedom technology" and in July 2025 launched Bitchat, a peer-to-peer Bluetooth mesh messaging app with no central servers, no internet required, and ephemeral encryption — specifically designed to be censorship-resistant.
