Musk ‘plans to cull 75% of Twitter workforce’

In brief

In his bid to buy Twitter, Elon Musk reportedly told investors that he intends cull nearly 75% of Twitter’s workforce.

Documents seen by The Washington Post said staff may be decreased from 7,500 workers to under 2,000, and that substantial cuts would occur regardless of if the Musk deal falls through.

Twitter is expected to report its third-quarter earnings on 25 October.
