The Elon Musk and Twitter deal could result in huge numbers of employees to be laid off
(Picture: Yui Mok/PA)Elon Musk has informed investors he plans to lay off nearly 75 per cent of Twitter’s workforce if he takes control of the social media company, according to The Washington Post.
With 7,500 employees, this percentage would result in 5,625 people being out of jobs. As ever with the billionaire’s sweeping statements, however, the truth might be less dramatic.
