Elon Musk's ax is preparing to strike down on Twitter.
The billionaire has asked the managers of the company that he chirps to draw up a list of employees to cut and do it quickly.
In fact, the objective is to launch a reduction plan by 1 November, the date by which the payment of premiums in securities representing a good portion of workers' remuneration is scheduled.
Proceeding with the cuts before the deadline could therefore allow Musk to save big.
The extent of the reductions is not yet clear, although some rumors speak of a weight loss cure of at least 30% in some departments.
Tesla's boss has assured that they will not be on the order of 75% of the workforce as indicated by the rumors in circulation.
But the reassurances were not enough to calm the nervousness among the employees, especially after the first moves of Musk who, as soon as he arrived at the helm, kicked out the managing director Parag Agrawal.
Rumors are chasing each other right on the helm of the company: many speculate that Musk will take over at least temporarily.
"My title is Chief Twit. I have no idea who the CEO is," said Tesla's boss, answering those who asked him how long he intended to remain CEO of the company he chirps.
While working on the command team and streamlining Twitter, Musk is relying on Tesla's 'allies' to conduct an examination and evaluate any changes to be made in the company he chirps.
Several Tesla engineers, according to rumors, have been tasked with holding interviews with Twitter engineers and reviewing the company's codes and products.
Meanwhile, the rain of criticism does not stop on the billionaire.
Skepticism towards him is rampant after he has defined himself as an "absolutist of free speech" and has opened up the possibility of returning the excluded excellent, including Donald Trump, to the platform.
Warnings Musk about the possible wave of hate speech and racism on the platform - which according to reports from the Washington Post has already been there since Musk took over - is basketball star LeBron James.
"I don't know Elon Musk and I don't care that he controls Twitter. I still hope he takes this trend seriously", James said, referring to the spread of the 'N-word', or the derogatory 'nigger' to define an African American.
On the contented Musk clarified that no changes to the control policies in place have been made and nothing will be changed until the content moderation council composed of very different points of view is in place.
