Twitter Employees Are Live-Tweeting Company's Layoffs Under Elon Musk
When Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion, he set in motion a series of changes that will have a long-term impact on how Twitter operates. For Musk, the priority right now is making Twitter profitable by lowering their dependence on advertisements for revenue.
As part of this measure, Musk plans to introduce a $8 monthly fee for verification (perhaps as part of the Twitter Blue subscription). Another change under Elon Musk has been a slew of layoffs, including former CEO Parag Agrawal who took the reins from Twitter founder Jack Dorsey just last November.
Elon Musk is overseeing mass layoffs in the company, according to an unsigned internal memo that was seen by The Verge. Turns out, as of Friday evening, many employees have already been locked out of their work credentials.
Many of them have taken to Twitter to share their displeasure, or just general state of mind after realising that they're probably fired. Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports that Twitter is being sued for laying off people without giving a 60-day notice.
