Twitter's new owner, tech-prodigy Elon Musk says he had "no choice" but to fire a big chunk of company's workforce as the firm is losing more than $4m (£3.5m) a day, reports BBC.
Half of the company's staff are being let go, a week after Musk bought Twitter in a $44bn (£38.7bn) deal. His main motto now to reduce cost, increase effectiveness— the tech experts said.
Twitter staff have been using the platform to talk about their dismissal.
There are concerns Twitter could reduce the extent of content moderation but Mr Musk said the firm's policies remain "absolutely unchanged".
As reports emerged on Friday that thousands of staff at Twitter around the world were losing their jobs, questions were asked over the future of employees responsible for taking down harmful material.
