The email also states that all employees will receive more information by Friday morning, California time. It has not been confirmed how many will be affected. But according to sources for the Washington Post, Musk has plans to fire around half of the 7,500 employees in the company. “We recognize that a number of people who are behind significant contributions to Twitter will be affected, but this decision is unfortunately necessary to guarantee the company’s future success,” the company’s new management writes in the email. People who get to keep their jobs will have the email sent to their work address. Those who are terminated will be notified via personal e-mail. “Remember to check the spam filter”, the company writes in the message. – Overpriced acquisition Elon Musk is the world’s richest person according to Forbes. He is also the head of the car company Tesla and the space company SpaceX. After six months of conflicting messages, he bought Twitter last Thursday for $44 billion. That same day, he strolled into the company’s headquarters with a sink in his hands. “LET THAT SINK IN”: Elon Musk on his way into Twitter’s headquarters with a sink in his hands. Photo: AP The beginning of ownership was no less eventful than the acquisition process. Musk immediately dissolved the board of the company, and fired several in the management. A financial analyst estimates to the magazine Fortune that Twitter’s real value is closer to 25 billion dollars. Musk has also taken out a loan of 12 billion dollars to finance the purchase, with repayments of around 1 billion dollars a year. – It is one of the most overpriced acquisitions in the history of the technology industry, says Dan Ives from the investment company Wedbush to Fortune. Major companies drop ads Major companies such as General Mills and Volkswagen have put Twitter advertising on hold to gauge the course the platform will take under Elon Musk’s leadership. – We have put the announcement on Twitter on hold, says spokesperson Kelsey Roemhildt for General Mills, whose brands include, among others, the breakfast cereal Cheerios and the ice cream maker H\u00e4agen-Dazs. – As always, we will continue to follow this new direction and evaluate the money we spend on advertising, she adds. General Motors previously became the first company to temporarily stop advertising on the platform, and according to the Wall Street Journal, car manufacturer Volkswagen, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and Oreo manufacturer Mondelez have also decided to do the same.
