Twitter Partnerships VP Ali Jafari is leaving the company, BuzzFeed News has learned. His next stop is Nextdoor, according to multiple sources.

Jafari, who has been with Twitter since March 2011 according to his LinkedIn profile, is the latest executive to depart under the leadership of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

In the last year, Twitter has lost its COO Adam Bain, CTO Adam Messinger, head of communications Nat Kerris, among others. At the start of 2016, Twitter&;s product head Kevin Weil also decamped for Instagram.

Twitter declined to comment, as did Jafari. Nextdoor did not immediately respond.

Elon Musk Will Stay On Trump's Advisory Groups For "The Greater Good"

Elon Musk will remain on two of President Trump&;s advisory councils because “engaging on critical issues will on balance serve the greater good,” he tweeted Thursday, hours after Uber&039;s chief executive Travis Kalanick quit a White House advisory group.

“Advisory councils simply provide advice and attending does not mean that I agree with actions by the Administration,” Musk said Thursday on Twitter, one day ahead of the first meeting of an economic advisory group he sits on.

Musk had fielded some criticism over his decision to sit on an economic advisory group and another manufacturing-focused council under Trump&039;s administration. At least a handful of customers canceled their Model 3 orders over Musk&039;s relationship with Trump, BuzzFeed News reported.

The tweet reaffirms Musk&039;s belief that he can “serve the greater good” by sitting on the council. Still, today would have been an easier day for Musk to ditch the advisory groups: Uber CEO Travis Kalanick dropped out of the economic advisory group a few hours earlier after backlash from customers and Uber employees. Kalanick said in a memo to staff announcing his departure from the group that he did not intend for the decision to join the group to serve as an endorsement of Trump or his agenda, but it had been “misinterpreted” as such.

Musk rebutted the idea that joining the group was an endorsement in his tweet, and said he would object to Trump&039;s controversial immigration ban in the meeting.
