Twitter has laid off at least 200 employees, or 10% of its workforce, according to information from the New York Times. The layoffs include product managers, big data experts and engineers working on machine learning and platform reliability.
It also concerns Esther Crawford, the director of product development and architect of the new paid subscription Twitter Blue. She was one of the few Twitter executives in place before Elon Musk’s acquisition who had not resigned or been fired.
Elon Musk had already laid off half of Twitter’s workforce in early November, days after buying the company for $44 billion. This massive social plan was followed by other dismissals and resignations.
The Californian company had nearly 7,500 employees in October 2022. At the end of January, Elon Musk indicated that there remained “about 2,300 active employees” at Twitter.
