business man Elon Musk plans to get rid of 75% of Twitter staff Until he left it at about 2,000 people, according to a Washington Post report this Thursday, who claims to have documents on the latest talks between the billionaire and possible investors that will help him close his social network buyout.
The newspaper also assures that even if the acquisition is not formalized, the company will make staff cuts large enough to reach about a quarter of its 7,500 employees. No other media has yet repeated these plans.Musk also did not react on his Twitter account.
The newspaper cautions that these interruptions could affect the network’s ability to control harmful or offensive content, such as child pornography, and prevent breaches in content security. According to the documents referenced by the mail and testimonies from other sources, outages affect not only staff but also infrastructure data centers that allow the operation of this network, which the company and especially more than 200 million users apply daily. These cuts—the paper continues—explain Twitter’s concern as it tries to close the $44,000 million sale to Musk, as it could leave the current management team to leave the most painful decisions to the new team.
An expert on scientific data contacted by the Post pointed out that if the cuts are confirmed, the cuts will have a “gradual effect”: worse service, less support staff, and a rising morale among the remaining staff that has been unclear for months. To Musk’s constant ups and downs on this issue. If there are no new chapters in this Twitter novel, Musk’s acquisition will close on October 28, and on that day Musk will be the sole owner of the little bird network and will be able to realize all his plans.
