Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, declared that the firm has stopped laying off employees and has begun recruiting once more after firing almost two-thirds of the 7,500 workers of the microblogging site in the first three weeks following his appointment. Musk also asserted that Twitter is currently looking for roles in engineering and sales at a meeting with staff members, according to The Verge. He also requested recommendations for possible applicants from the employees.

Musk did not specify which exact technical or sales roles the business was seeking, and the microblogging platform does not presently have any vacant openings listed on its website.

According to the story, Musk said, "In terms of crucial hiring, I would say individuals who are fantastic at creating software are the greatest priority." Although it would make sense to have "dual-headquartered" offices in Texas and California, the CEO claims that there are "no intentions" to locate the business's headquarters there, as he did with Tesla.

Musk warned staff that moving the company's headquarters to Texas "would play into the impression that Twitter has gone from being a left-wing to a right-wing company, which is not the truth."
