Musk has changed a few things since he took over Twitter, and the most drastic was firing 50% of the workers with no advance warning. Approximately 3700 employees, or 50% of the staff, are said to have been let go by Musk. Almost the entire India team has been asked to leave.

Musk commented on the mass layoffs, stating that the need for staff reduction was due to Twitter's daily financial losses. "Unfortunately, Twitter's decrease in staff is the only option when the firm is losing more than $4M each day. Everyone who left the company received a 3 month severance package, which is 50% more than what is needed by law," he tweeted.
