Twitter employees are finding out whether they are being laid off today in a brutal move by Elon Musk.
The Tesla founder took over the social media platform just one week ago and is already making a number of controversial changes. There is widespread speculation that just shy of 4,000 positions will be axed before the end of today. Twitter employs around 8,000 workers in total and has staff based in London and Manchester.
Many Twitter employees have taken to social media to share how they found out about losing their jobs. Some claimed that they were sacked "by email" while others claimed that they were simply "unable to log on" to their work accounts.
