Elon Musk will begin laying off Twitter employees on Friday morning, according to a memo sent to staff.

“If your employment is not impacted, you will receive a notification via your Twitter email,” a copy of the email obtained by CNN said. “If your employment is impacted, you will receive a notification with next steps via your personal email.” The email added that “to help ensure the safety” of employees and Twitter’s systems, the company’s offices “will be temporarily closed and all badge access will be suspended.

The memo comes after news reports that Musk had planned to lay off up to half of the company’s staff after acquiring it last week for $44 billion. Musk started his tenure at Twitter by firing CEO Parag Agrawal and two other executives, according to two people familiar with the decision. And in less than a week since Musk acquired the company, its C-suite appears to have almost entirely cleared out, through a mix of firings and resignations.

Belo presente de Natal. Milionário e maniaco

Is it trickling down yet?

Can't wait for tomorrow morning then 😆

Hopefully they will all receive a notice period & not told through Twitter.

Welcome to the future

Its his company.

So often bad things happen to good people. It's nice to see bad things happening to bad people for a change.

At least he wait till the end of the pay period lol

Trimming the Fat

Always went into businesses with smarter people in their field at running actual research and operations at SpaceEx and Tesla, now he’s the only smarter person in social media at Twitter. Grab your barf pails and get ready for this ride.DunningKruger

sack the people make more money scum bage

I hate him. He is everything that is wrong with this country.

King of the Douches

Totalitarian Af. The real Bagero

Maybe he should buy CNN.

Dude has no idea what he’s doing while at the same time a bunch of worshipers in these comments are on their knees “worshiping” soweird

'The memo comes after news reports that Musk had planned to lay off up to half of the company’s staff after acquiring it last week for $44 billion.' 😂😂😂😂 A masterclasse in how to destroy a very expensive investment 😂😂😂

В. ГАЙФУЛЛИН, КАШПИРОВСКОМУ: В СЕМЬЕ КТО-ТО ВИНОВАТ. ТВОИ, ОДНОПОЛЧАНЕ ИСТРЕБИЛИ 30-40 МИЛЛИОНОВ ЧЕЛОВЕК ШПРИЦОМ

Layoffs on a Friday? Are there no business norms with him?

Remember when “quiet quitting”, not showing up for jobs, not applying because they pay too little was a thing? Then a recession hit? The people were complaining about not being able to get a job? Remember that? Oh yeah, that’s next year. Lol

Congrats!

Just another rich guy that thinks hes important which he is not

Can’t until there is a technical problem with Tweeter and it goes down, with nobody to fix it

I live very close to the Twitter building: very tempted to head there tomorrow to do some amateur street reporting with those leaving, but Musk is such a weasel, he’ll like cut people via email. How can anyone determine who deserves to be laid off with just a week at the helm?

Is elonmusk hiring StephenKing to tell him how much to price services?

Just before the holidays..what a guy…

It is always hard to go through layoffs. I feel sorry for those who have worked very hard; for the ones who didn't do much; I hope they see this as a new beginning/opportunity to start working hard and making a difference somewhere.

Lots of puckered buttsholes tomorrow.

BossMove & no he doesn’t want to date you AOC

Anything to boost his fragile ego.

Elon reminds us of Clark's boss in Christmas Vacation.

🌹 Those poor people just thrown out like trash while Musk laughs and acts like a child...💋 ElonsAHoles

Alexa. Show me what a terrible leader looks like.

So all those folks who bragged about working 4 hours a day and endless mental well-being vacations will now have to get a real job in Biden’s economy. Bring it on

Fire americans, all part of the plan...

I was at the beach once and I saw Elon Musk take an ice cream from a child and give it to a seagull. Horrendous excuse for a man.

That's what happens when you buy a new business.

Happy Holidays folks! You’re all fired!🤯💩👎

They should fire the ones who operate for IRGC or spying for Iran’s government. Unfortunately, They have ppl everywhere including Twitter 😞

Waiting for everyone to leave like when they were going to Canada

Ahh is this the Billionaires creating jobs, I keep hearing about? 🤣

Very sad how an out-of-control ego can adversely affect so many. Trumpian af!

Funny

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

'The beatings will continue until morale improves.' 😂

See look Hillary Clinton!”😀

There will be lots of crying liberals

😈

Apparently free speech now costs $8 a month.

well like all the elon dick riders say, hes just trying to run a business. 🙄🙄

To All current employees, accept the Money 💰 and apply else where.

Those involved in censoring conservative views must be fired immediately!.

Sorry you don't work hard enough for Musk

Very interesting. What is this going to mean to all of you Tweeters? I think Twitter is about to become a whole lot more interesting. I don't know Mr Musk personally and if he a great guy or otherwise. But he's got real skills. Watching Twitter unconcerned. It's okay.

When Twitter fires the guy who knows how to run the website and T. goes dark - LMAO.

Beautiful thing what he’s doing to the decisive platform’s executives and board members.

Good, bout damn time

8,000 people. What the beep are all those people doing?

The Purge Has Begun! To all the Woke Fascist Staffers who have abused their power & position for so long without any consequences, I wanna first wish you a Merry Fckin Christmas & secondly, I wish you luck in your future endeavors! Let this be a life lesson. Thanks elonmusk

Republican candidate Pat Harrigan's CHILDREN ALMOST KILLED after gunman opens fire at North Carolina home – This after Dem rival Jeff Jackson FILMED CAMPAIGN AD outside his property.. MEDIA DEAD SILENT ON THIS... Left extreme terrorist

Wait, but I heard that billionaires are job CREATORS?

Fantastic

All that wasted payroll used to censor republicans will now be saved! Thanks Elon!

My thoughts are MySpace like…

Good!!!! Censorship gone buh-bye 👋

I don’t remember ppl being this upset when service workers and other underpaid professionals were being laid off by the boatloads during covid. Why are Twitter employees so important?

Sack employees. Charge a fee. Is there a trend here?

Calm down everyone, Elon is going to fire only Bots.

Vote Republican if you want Autocracy. Vote Democrat if you want Democracy.

Good

Get rid of those free speech hating people!

Does this mean more trolling ?

This is glorious!

What a swell guy.

BOOM! There's the door progressive snot wads

👍👍👍👍👍

Way to go on the morale. Nothing like being laid off by email. The people that are not laid off will immediately begin looking for a new job.

Widespread Bird Flu anticipated at Twitter. elonmusk

This will save board members about $7 million…

Maybe they can learn to shingle houses.

Good

Executive: 'Mr. Musk will be using the SCRUM method to improve efficiencies at twitter' Me (who just finished reading the SCRUM method): 'Elon's gonna fire all the executives... AND their staff'

Twitter is rapidly getting worse and worse refuses 2 make a decision 2 fly brianstelter into Venezuela & see if he can interview President Maduro. Breaking views, Brian Stelter is no longer with CNN

No problem, Joe is the greatest job creator ever elected!

Another 'job creator' strikes again.

What letter?

👍

Whatever ...

It would be painful for those getting laid off if they have a Tesla payment to make.

He wants to run it out of his garage!!

No sense of what workplace community is all about.

Serious development at Twitterville

It's the craps losing your job right before the holidays no matter what your political persuasion. Be curious what kind of severance package they will get.

For those unfamiliar with how businesses being bought out works, it means some people get laid off. Every company has employees whose jobs don’t mean anything to the company or who are costing too much money for doing virtually nothing of significance.

In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted. Bertrand Russell

I hope the other half of the staff walk off the job tomorrow. Twitter is doomed but Elon is really crashing this place fast.

STARTING WITH HIMSELF?

Well, that’s progress for you.

Didn't they say they were waiting if he bought in

Awesome!!

He owns the company.

Twitter is not a charity. It’s a business that has never made a profit.

If any company needs a rebuilding, it's Twitter. The model has value, but the company needs a new order, a change in culture, and fresh ideas. Creative destruction is often the best long-term growth plan when so much is wrong.

My husband is appalled by what is going on in Twitter and has decided to lay himself off from any further Tweets from the new management.

It was fun while it lasted….oh well…everything has an expiry date.

Not soon enough.

Tribel could probably use them. Thanks Elon.

If you look up heartless dick in the dictionary there is a picture of Elon.

Like CNN is doing?

I'm no labor attorney but I'm curious; Doesn't this violate both Federal and California WARN act regulations?

Yeah employees cost money have to pay benefits he paid way too much for Twitter now he's trying to save face

I'd pay $8 to watch it live streaming.

Merry Christmas you lazy people!!!!

I actually loved Twitter but now I’m so over it 😡

My account isn't being censored for the first time in years so I'm happy.

😖

ElonMuskBuyTwitter

Thought they were all quitting? Where's that demand letter now LMAO 🤣

Ok😕

Let the wokexodus begin. Oh no, but their feelings 😩😩😩

Daniel Johnson and Ligma Parawl left already.

Elon: we need to get Americans back to working and need to create more jobs! Also Elon: just not under my own businesses.

Jesus 'He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:'John 1:10-12 KJV

Brilliant this malicious banning must stop 🛑

🔥👉👑Jesus claims to be God, the Father, and the Son/Christ.👇 'And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.' -Mark 10:18 KJV 💗💯🩸🐑'I am the good shepherd: 👈👉the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.' -John 10:11 KJV👑

When Jesus died for your sins He forgave all sins, past, present, and future sins, and gives to your account all His righteousness as a free gift! Now that is the Jesus I know and love because He first loved me! Simply have faith in His blood🩸and believe He rose from the grave🙏

Christ died for our sins was buried and rose on the third day according to the scriptures is the gospel that saves us by trusting that Jesus paid our sin debt in full on the cross with His blood and rose again. Faith in Christ who is God in the likeness of a man saves us forever!

Merry Christmas

The greatest news in the world! Jesus Saves!🩸 'For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:'1Cor15:3-4
