Twitter layoffs: Musk says some of those fired, should be rehired

Elon Musk, who acquired the social media platform in October, had steadily pared back its work force from about 7,500 employees as he sought to reduce costs

Twitter layoffs: Musk says some of those fired, should be rehired

Almost six months after laying off roughly half of Twitter's workforce, Twitter owner, and outgoing CEO Elon Musk says that the company should ‘rehire some of the people that were let go’.

In an interview to CNBC, the Tesla CEO was heard saying that Twitter had fired so many employees as a 'desperate measure. He said, “desperate times call for desperate measures… Unfortunately, if you do it fast, there are some babies who will be thrown out."

Elon Musk took over the micro-blogging platform Twitter in October 2022, after his $44 billion deal was completed.

On 4 November, Elon Musk had fired more than 6,000 people at Twitter, reducing the headcount from 7,800 to about 1,500.
