New York: Twitter's new owner Elon Musk has planned to begin laying off employees at the social media giant, according to media reports, days after he completed the $44-billion acquisition of the company.
The New York Times reported that Musk "planned to begin laying off workers" at Twitter as soon as on Saturday. Citing people with knowledge of the situation, the report said that some managers were being asked to "draw up lists of employees to cut."
