Elon to Fire 75% of Twitter Employees

BREAKING: Right-wing billionaire Elon Musk plans to fire 75% of Twitter's employees when he seizes control — a move that will allow him to stuff Twitter with minions who will support his move to flood the platform with racists and Nazis. RT IF YOU OPPOSE MUSK OWNING TWITTER!

It’s not clear why this would be a surprise. Most of the employees of Twitter are involved in censorship. I don’t remember it off the top of my head, and there is not an exact number, but I want to say that 75% of employees work exclusively in the censorship department.

AP:

Elon Musk plans to lay off most of Twitter’s workforce if and when he becomes owner of the social media company, according to a report Thursday by The Washington Post.

Musk has told prospective investors in his Twitter purchase that he plans to cut nearly 75% of Twitter’s employee base of 7,500 workers, leaving the company with a skeleton crew, according to the report. The newspaper cited documents and unnamed sources familiar with the deliberations.

San Francisco-based Twitter and a representative for Musk attorney Alex Spiro did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

While job cuts have been expected regardless of the sale, the magnitude of Musk’s planned cuts are far more extreme than anything Twitter had planned. Musk himself has alluded to the need to cull some of the company’s staff in the past, but he hadn’t given a specific number — at least not publicly.

“A 75% headcount cut would indicate, at least out of the gates, stronger free cash flow and profitability, which would be attractive to investors looking to get in on the deal,” said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives. “That said, you can’t cut your way to growth.”

Ives added that such a drastic reduction in Twitter’s workforce would likely set the company back years.

You think about Twitter, and they don’t really need a big staff. They don’t need promotional tie-ins. The tech work is probably mostly contracted out. In theory, it should be a self-running machine, with just a few people running advertising and managing the day-to-day system administration.

Elon has said he wants to do mass user verification, but there are companies that do that mostly through AI.

It sure is sad though that all of these faggots and women are going to be fired.

What a great group of people.

They are such good and moral sluts and hajis.

I mean pajeets.

No, wait – can I change my answer? I wanna stick with “hajis.”
