Elon Musk’s Twitter has cut its workforce to the lowest level in years with only around 1,000 full-time employees remaining, according to anonymous sources familiar with the company. This comes in the wake of Musk’s aggressive staff cuts and a wave of resignations since he officially acquired the social media platform six months ago.

From its previous 7,500 employees, Twitter’s headcount has decreased by about 90 percent, according to insiders, as the surviving personnel deal with ongoing performance reviews and fluctuating project priorities. “Performance reviews are constant,” a former worker claimed, adding that internal project and task priority directions were frequently changed, making the workplace challenging for those still working there.
Twitter has gone through a difficult time while Musk has been in charge. Just over 250 million people use the network on a daily basis, up from 244 million six months ago. But in the last three months, app downloads have decreased by about 15 percent, raising questions about Musk’s plan to achieve 1 billion monthly active users by the end of the year. Downloads and usage spiked in the early weeks of Musk’s acquisition, but the recent fall has highlighted the difficulties the company is facing.
