Downsizing Twitter, it’s probably like cleaning out a toilet

[lawrencetate]

GOOD! That entire workforce has been corrupted with evil!

[zoundstreetop]

Personally I hoping that this kills Twitter. Social media is destroying society.

[clydefrog]

Why does the government all of a sudden have a say in what happens with the deal but when we needed Uncle Sam to put his first amendment foot down they were a "private company"?

[espanolplanetario]

Yes, get rid off unnecessary workers. There were a lot of censorships towards one side. Still is on Facebook. But people can see it more now.

[AjaxCaper]

Get rid of everyone working on censoring people. Then do that at YouTube.

Twitter Employees sudddenly quitting in droves bringing harddrives of information out the the door

75% is disgusting and fills me with disappointed….



It should be at least 95%

[johnstallings]

Will he allow people who have been permanently banned from Twitter back on the platform like Trump? ❄️😶❄️🌎❄️

Joe will offer them all, no show jobs in the Federal Government.
💰💰💰💰💰

Can't say I blame him. Twitter is hugely overinflated when it comes to employees there. How many people do you need to run a website? Do they deserve a 100, 000 a year job for being able to use a keyboard or have coding skills? I think not. Cut the fat Elon and bring us a Twitter thats stands on free speech and no censorship

[lilysgram]

If they only worked 4 hours/week he doesn’t need 75% of the “ workforce.”
Hardly working is more like it.

[maxmattt]

He's firing the wokeforce, not the workforce.

[jakkfamily]

To Twitter employees: Lemme know if you need the unemployment phone number.

[mbolduc]

Imagine thinking that working for Twitter matters in any meaningful way

[jakkfamily]

Another loss for all you free speech haters!

[Samination]

It's revenge. He's just as vengeful as Trump, not to mention stupid.

[helmutshotthesheriff]

Amazing news : there is a "work" force at Twitter..!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[DeRussellMasina]

Seems highly unlikely unless he means replacing them with new talent

[EnriqueGarcia-tlvr]

Water won't be clear until you take out the rats ....
