Twitter has 80% fewer employees since the arrival of the new CEO Elon Musk, due to his new business policy and the massive layoffs that occurred during the first weeks at the head of the company. Internal company records state that Twitter’s full-time workforce has been reduced to about 1,300 active employees, including less than 550 engineers. Likewise, as reported by CNBC, Musk would have authorized the transfer of some 130 employees of other companies owned by him, such as Tesla, SpaceX and The Boring Co., to Twitter.

Before the arrival of the businessman, after buying the social networking company in 2022 for 44,000 million dollars, Twitter had 7,500 employees. At the beginning of November Musk began a policy of mass layoffs that have led to lawsuits from former employees.
