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.
