Twitter employees will know their fate today in an email

Twitter employees know via e-mail today, Friday, whether their work on the site continues or not, in the wake of billionaire Elon Musk's acquisition of the social networking platform.

Each Twitter employee will receive an email with the title “Your Role on Twitter,” according to a statement sent to employees and leaked to the American media.

Those who will lose their jobs will receive a notification on their personal mail, while those whose jobs will not be affected will receive a notification via an email message on Twitter, the statement added.

According to reports, every seconded employee is at risk of layoffs.

This will amount to about 3,700 jobs in total.

The announcement came after tech billionaire Elon Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, bought Twitter, after months of tough discussions, in a $44 billion deal last week and transferred it to his private ownership. .

A statement issued by the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday said that Elon Musk, the new head of Twitter, has dissolved the micro-blogging platform's board of directors and took control of it alone.

All nine board members relinquished their positions.

Musk has appointed himself the only new director to date.

The New York Stock Exchange has already de-listed Twitter shares.
