Maybe a quarter

The first thing Elon Musk did as the new head of Twitter was to fire three of the company’s top executives. They were driven out of the building, while the man who had bought the company himself inserted a sink in the front door.

Currently The Washington Post reports That a quarter of the company’s 7,000 employees will receive the same message as the three top managers. Musk and his closest advisers support widespread layoffs.

The redundancies will affect all departments of the company, but in the sales, development, production, legal, credibility and security departments, most will lose their jobs. The Washington Post writes that employees in development and sales are the highest paid Twitter employees.

The newspaper also wrote that about 2,000 packages are likely only the first wave – more are expected to be released later.

Musk also got rid of the company’s board of directors, according to a Bloomberg report. He is with him at the moment as the only Twitter board member, according to documents sent to US authorities.

He is allegedly trying to avoid paying the bounty

According to the Washington Post, layoffs are expected to begin as early as Monday. This is despite the fact that Musk tweeted on Sunday at the latest that the allegations about the upcoming layoff are “false.”

Already over the weekend, the New York Times received information that many employees of the company will be laid off before November 1. According to the newspaper, this is to avoid having to pay a bonus in the form of an allotment of shares – something that employees of the company are allegedly entitled to after this date.
