Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover and Continuous Firings

Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover and Continuous Firings

In the six months since Elon Musk took over Twitter, the company's employee count has dwindled by almost 90%, as the billionaire entrepreneur has continuously slashed the workforce through layoffs and firings. Some employees have reportedly been interrogated about leaks before being let go, while others have simply quit or taken jobs outside of Twitter. The remaining staff members scramble to meet Musk's demands, while dealing with constant site issues, as there are fewer people to help. As a result, Twitter's headcount is now down to its lowest level in many years.

Currently, Twitter has around 1,000 full-time employees, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Musk had previously stated that Twitter had 1,500 people remaining on staff, but it was unclear whether contract workers were included in that number. The sources said that Twitter's headcount is closer to 1,000 employees, particularly when excluding any remaining contract workers, who are not considered full-time staff and are technically employed by a third party. Musk has also ended contracts for thousands of such workers.
