The hype surrounding Elon Musk's purchase of the social network Twitter is gaining momentum again, but in a different way.
According to The Washington Post, if the deal is completed, the billionaire and founder of Tesla and SpaceX plans to reduce the number of employees from 7.5 thousand to just over 2 thousand people.
At the same time, the American edition notes that even if Musk does not become the owner of Twitter, staff cuts are inevitable, since this step has been planned for a long time in order to optimize costs.
Recall that Twitter and Musk can finalize a deal as early as next week, and its value will be $44 billion.
