New Delhi: Every day holds a new surprise ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter Inc.
After laying off close to 3,700 people on Friday, the social media company has reached out to dozens of employees who it said were either fired in error or too essential to the changes the billionaire businessman wants to make. Another of Musk’s key early goals, adding verification check marks for members of its monthly subscription service is being delayed until Wednesday to avoid potential chaos during the US midterm elections, Bloomberg reported.
Twitter’s plan to hire back workers was previously reported by Platformer.
“Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4M/day,” Musk tweeted on Friday.
