Elon Musk’s X Corp., the parent company of Twitter, has made its first acquisition: a tech talent recruiting service called Laskie, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The deal, which was part equity and part cash, recently closed, the person said, asking to remain anonymous discussing a private transaction. The company matches tech talent with potential employers, saying on its website that its tool can “confirm mutual interest, set clear expectations, and give visibility into the hiring process.”
The acquisition marks one of the billionaire’s first major initiatives since he bought the social media service for $44 billion inMost of Musk’s moves since then have shrunk the service, from firing much of its staff to reducing its server footprint.
