Twitter has laid off another 200 employees, including some top executives, in the latest round of massive job cuts since Elon Musk took over last October.
According to media reports, the layoffs started on Saturday night and many employees learned their fate on Sunday when they couldn’t access their company email accounts and laptops.
Musk also issued a tweet on Sunday, saying “Hope you have a good Sunday. First day of the rest of your life.”
The latest layoffs bring Twitter's full-time headcount down to under 2,000, a sharp fall from the 7,500 employed when Musk took over the company in late October. The billionaire then almost immediately started laying off Twitter staff, saying at the time that it was necessary in order to avoid financial ruin for the platform. His initial plan, however, was to only cut around 50% of the staff.

Glad to hear. il Donaldo Trumpo’s Twitter account has been suspended. My account was recently permanently suspended as well. Lots of cleaning still to do at Twitter.
I’m sure Elon knows, but he can’t admit that he’s not fully in control of his algorithms. There are at least three countries with their fingers in the pie.
wtf were all the former employees that were laid off at Twatter doing ? Im not a huge twitter user, but do surf through occasionally, and It seems to be running fine. Twitter must of had 1 employer per banned person to follow and track.
They weren't doing shit, like what happens on a lot of "IT teams." 20 people farting around while one person does all the work.
exactly my thoughts. Its not just IT. seems almost everyplace I go people stand around, and in the end fk shit up. The workforce of today is total garbage
They were probably employees working against Musk, or employees that were found to be completely useless.
Can't recall which Fortune 500 CEO, but there was one yrs ago who would fire 10% of staff yearly- deserved or not- just to keep the other 90% on their toes.
Dick move tho
I can't wait for the cry videos from them. LOL!!
