US media say there are only 1,300 people left on Twitter, Musk: There are still 2,300 active employees

According to a CNBC report on the 20th local time, Twitter’s internal documents show that the number of full-time employees has been reduced to about 1,300, including less than 550 full-time engineers. Less than 20 people. But Musk responded on Twitter on the 21st that Twitter still has about 2,300 active employees, and the trust and safety team still has hundreds of employees. Musk’s “hard core” plan proposed after the acquisition of Twitter led to a large number of employees resigning. | Related reading (The Paper)

The media will always follow Musk’s clues. However, Musk usually does not accept media interviews, so he can only rely on this kind of dialogue to achieve the purpose of media investigations. Musk’s layoffs at Twitter are obvious to all. Before taking over Twitter, there were 6,000+ employees. Musk’s initial goal was to retain only about 2,000 employees, and the layoffs were close to 70%. If, as he himself said, there are only 2,300 employees left, then he has basically reached his goal.

So, will it cause the remaining 2,000 employees to leave due to emotional impact, and there are really more than 1,000 employees left? At present, various technology giants in the United States are laying off employees, and job opportunities are decreasing. Not only Twitter is laying off employees, but Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are also laying off employees. Even though Twitter is a tough place to live in, you have to make money to support your family.

Although the commercial purpose of layoffs has been achieved, under the political correctness of promoting humanistic care in the workplace in the West, Twitter’s reputation should also collapse. The future of Twitter’s corporate growth, at least in terms of attracting talent, may not be rosy.
