Al-Marsad Newspaper: “The Information” website revealed that Twitter, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, laid off dozens of employees yesterday, Saturday, as part of the eighth round of job cuts since Musk assumed the presidency of the famous social network in late October.
The report cited people with direct knowledge of the matter early Sunday as saying the job cuts affected several engineering teams, including those supporting advertising technology, the Twitter app and the technical infrastructure involved in keeping Twitter’s systems running.
It is noteworthy that Twitter laid off 3,700 employees in early November, in a measure to reduce expenses taken by Musk, who acquired the company for $ 44 billion.
