“The Wall Street Journal: Elon Musk’s Twitter lays off more employees amid cost cuts”

Twitter Inc. conducted another round of job cuts over the weekend, people familiar with the matter said, the latest among thousands of staff reductions under new owner Elon Musk.

The cuts come as billionaire Musk has been pursuing sweeping changes to the platform, including slashing costs, releasing new features and changing content-moderation policies.

An email sent to an employee, dated Saturday, said the person’s role was eliminated as part of a wider review, according to a copy reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “Today is your last working day at the company,” the email said.

“Waking up to find I’ve been locked out of my email,” tweeted Martijn de Kuijper, a senior product manager at Twitter and founder of newsletter tool Revue, which was acquired by Twitter in 2021.

The exact scope of the cuts couldn’t be learned, and Twitter didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The Information earlier reported the job cuts.
