Employees at Twitter received email notification that layoffs would start on Friday. Elon Musk, dubbed “Chief Twit,” is rumoured to be laying off about half of Twitter’s 7,500 employees.
Musk defended his decision to fire workers at Twitter by claiming that the microblogging service was losing more than $4 million a day.
“Unfortunately, given that the firm is losing more than $4 million per day, there is no other option for Twitter but to reduce its workforce. Everyone who was let go received a 3 month severance package, which is 50% more than what was legally required “stated Musk.
