The newspaper cited documents and unnamed sources familiar with the deliberations. San Francisco-based Twitter and a representative for Musk attorney Alex Spiro did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.&#160; When asked about the possibility of combining his companies under one umbrella, Musk said there&#39;s no obvious reason to do so right now. While job cuts have been expected regardless of the sale, the magnitude of Musk&amp;#39;s planned cuts are far more extreme than anything Twitter had planned.

“Although, obviously, myself and the other investors are obviously overpaying for Twitter right now, the long-term potential for Twitter in my view is an order of magnitude greater than its current value,” Musk said.&amp;quot; Ives added that such a drastic reduction in Twitter&amp;#39;s workforce would likely set the company back years. Already, experts, nonprofits and even Twitter&amp;#39;s own staff have warned that pulling back investments on content moderation and data security could hurt Twitter and its users.45 billion in third-quarter revenue, up 27% from the second quarter and 55% from last year&#39;s third quarter.

With as drastic a reduction as Musk may be planning, the platform could quickly become overrun with harmful content and spam — the latter of which the Tesla CEO himself has said he&amp;#39;ll address if he becomes owner of the company.” In a June 16 Q&amp;A with Twitter employees, Musk said there needs to be a “rationalization of headcount,” and said: “Anyone who is a significant contributor should have nothing to worry about. After his initial $44 billion bid in April to buy Twitter, Musk backed out of the deal, contending Twitter misrepresented the number of fake “spam bot” accounts on its platform.

Analysts expected $21. Then Twitter began allowing all of its employees to work from home forever starting in May 2020, months after the company was one of the first to send its employees home as the coronavirus began spreading around the globe. Twitter sued, and a Delaware judge has given both sides until Oct.
