Absolutely incredible! This is how many describe what is happening on Twitter. Will there be free ‘space’ for expression and expression on Musk’s Twitter? No one is sure. However, one thing is certain. Nothing is free anymore. For starters, beauticians are on their period!
Elon Musk, the world’s number one billionaire, suddenly took to Twitter one day. First comes the Udak, Musk’s rant. Under pressure, the owners decide to give up. Then Musk made a point. The matter reached the court. With that, Musk decided to buy at the said price. The contract was signed. Musk owns Twitter.
A lot has happened and is still happening on Twitter in a week, which is not even seen in cinematography. Many people were worried when the news spread that the employees would be laid off en masse. One morning the mail arrives. The company has decided to lay off half of its employees. The message that the decision will follow in the mail for those who are evicted has reached everyone’s inbox. A sleepless night for many. At least some expected it, as layoffs were rumored. But the method of dismissal shocked many.
While working the laptop reboots and soon the screen goes blank. This is how Emmanuel Cornet, who was an engineer at Twitter for a year and a half, realized that his job was gone. Followed by an email saying that he was being fired for violating the company’s rules. He asks if anyone can tell me what the infraction is. Even those on maternity leave were dismissed. An employee who gave birth the day before received a gift termination notice the day after. The mail also contains a reminder that those who have received a termination notice are bound to abide by the company’s rules during the notice period.
Nearly 700 people have resigned from Twitter since Musk announced the purchase. The design engineers were then given an ultimatum to complete the work of the new services to be introduced on Twitter in a short period of time. Work seven days a week. Musk’s warning is to work 12 hours a day.
Many employees say that Musk expects that a good number of those who remain will leave on their own as more stringent measures are imposed. Twitter had 7500 employees globally. Half of them have already been fired.
As part of Musk’s taming of Twitter, the first sighting was the escorting out of four of the company’s top executives, escorted by Musk’s soldiers (loyalists). And a goodbye. Ahead of the layoffs, Tesla’s engineers flew in to assess the effectiveness of Twitter’s developers.
‘Criticize it every day as nonsense. Musk has repeatedly said that if you want BlueTick, you will be charged eight dollars. If you pay eight dollars every month, you can keep BlueTick. BlueTick fee will be implemented in India too within a month. Along with this, many people who used to advertise on Twitter are saying goodbye to the company.
Twitter is losing 40 lakh dollars a day. So there is no other way. Musk says a rescue mission is underway. Anyway, it won’t be the Twitter you’ve seen before, it’ll be a memory. It will be shortened to ‘the company’s games are to be seen’!
As Twitter enters its second week under Musk, the company’s workforce has halved. Some people got the next message when the eviction took place. A few people received a message on Sunday saying they had been sent a severance notice by mistake and had to return to the company.
