Reuters reported - today, Sunday - that Twitter has cut 4,400 jobs out of 5,500 contractors working on the platform.

The California-based company acquired by Elon Musk began a series of layoffs described as a tsunami around the world, and announced the temporary closure of its offices.

Subsequently, Reuters quoted a Bloomberg report that the company is now communicating with dozens of employees it has laid off, and is asking them to return.

Earlier this week, Elon Musk warned that the social media platform could go bankrupt.

And Musk said in a tweet to him last week, that there was no other option for Twitter than to reduce the number of its employees, and it is losing more than 4 million dollars a day.

And two days ago, the American billionaire said - in his first conference call with employees - that he could not rule out bankruptcy, more than two weeks after he bought the platform for $ 44 billion.

On the other hand, the opening of paid authentication tags on Twitter has caused chaos across the platform over the past two days, as many accounts impersonated famous personalities and major companies, and those accounts made false statements in order to take advantage of their authentication.

Twitter has announced that it will start charging $8 for required blue verification marks, in the first major change made by Elon Musk to the social media platform.
