Elon Musk finished the "Twitter deal". Now he is responsible for the company's success and cannot wait any longer. There is a senate election in the USA on Tuesday, and all eyes are focused on this day. Before the election, Musk decided to cut the workforce of a particular team. The company's owner decided to cut the workforce from the team responsible for misinformation. 2 former Twitter employees gave a very honest and interesting interview with the BBC. They claim that cutting half of the workforce from a particular team would create chaos. As the elections are very close (in 4 days), misinformation on Twitter would go above, and it's believed that Musk can't control the situation.
Elon Musk's early interest in Twitter
In 2006, Elon Musk was one of the first investors in Twitter, putting $15 million into the then-fledgling social media company. He was an early advocate for using Twitter to reach a mass audience quickly and efficiently, and his investment helped Twitter get off the ground. In the years since, Musk has used Twitter to communicate directly with his fans and customers, promote his businesses, and even sell products. Thanks to Musk's involvement, Twitter has become an essential tool for anyone looking to connect with a large audience. Musk's interest in Twitter began long before he became an investor. In 2003, he started using the service to keep up with news and information about technology and business.
Musk brought Twitter 44 billion dollars.
Tesla's owner finalized the deal with Twitter 1 week ago. He could not hold back and started the inside management. The first rule made by Elon was related to remote working. The wealthiest man alive said that Twitter employees could work only from the office. The remote work culture is the future, according to the businessman. He also started working on the inside management and cutting off the workforce.
