IT Home August 14 report, a X user posted today: "I still think it's crazy that Twitter once had more than 8,000 employees, but now has fewer than 3,000. All the critics say this site is going to die."
Musk then responded: "1200." This should refer to the current number of employees at X (formerly Twitter).
IT Home previously reported that since Musk acquired Twitter in 2022, he has been implementing various cost-cutting measures, including significant layoffs, with reports indicating a plan to cut 75% of Twitter's employees.
Musk said in an April 2023 interview with BBC that when he acquired Twitter, the company had slightly less than 8,000 employees, and by April 2023, the number was 1,500. When asked if large-scale layoffs were difficult, Musk said, "It's not fun at all, sometimes it's painful."
According to these numbers, the number of employees at Twitter has decreased by nearly 85% since Musk acquired the company.
