Musk plans to cut 75% of Twitter’s workforce globally: report

The future of Twitter’s workforce has been called into question, as Elon Musk reportedly told potential investors he planned to eliminate nearly 75% of the platform’s workers.

According to a report by The Washington Post, Musk suggested condensing Twitter’s 7,500 workers down to just over 2,000.

The report also said in the unlikely scenario where Musk’s deal with Twitter falls through again, Twitter’s current management still planned to trim the company’s payroll by about US$800 million (A$1.27 billion) by the end of 2023.
