Twitter, which is one of the first platforms that comes to mind when it comes to social media, continues to come to the fore with non-platform events lately. The acquisition attempt of the company with Elon Musk and what happened after it causes the company to remain on the agenda. It seems that the process continues with all its turmoil.
Elon Musk wants to lay off 75 percent of Twitter employees
When Elon Musk bought the Twitter company, he signaled that he would make some radical changes. He even shared that there will be new hires in some areas and layoffs in others. However, it looks like the change will be quite drastic.
Elon Musk’s process of acquiring Twitter has completely turned into a mess. It is expected that the matter will become clear in the coming days. On the other hand, Musk has created some plans for the companies he is the CEO of. According to a report in the Washington Post, it plans to lay off about 5,600 Twitter employees in the possible acquisition.
This number represents 75 percent of the company. This is not just for change. Twitter will go downsizing just like other giant companies. Elon Musk had also gone down in size at Tesla. Elon Musk is not the only one who is aware of the economic fluctuations and goes to the slaughter.
Global economic crisis expectations are leading large companies to take some measures. Tesla, Meta, Google Ford Apple and many other companies are downsizing in order to survive the fluctuations with the least damage. Elon Musk, if the Twitter deal is realized, it seems that the slaughter will begin on the social media platform.
