Mumbai: In another series of ‘Twitter’ events, billionaire Elon Musk has sacked a hefty number of people across the marketing and communications team of the social media group’s India office.

Considering the slew of proceedings, Musk has been on a sacking spree with a firm intention to cut costs.

Indiantelevision.com tried contacting a senior executive from the Twitter India team, but there was no response.

In this chain, Twitter US senior director – global head of consumer product marketing Justin Taylor also revealed in a Tweet that today was his last day at the social media platform.  His tweet reads, “Today was my last day at Twitter. Proud of the work I did, and the people I worked with, especially my team. My DM’s are open for any new opportunities, but for now will take the weekend to appreciate what matters most, my family.”

Musk, who took over Twitter last week, hasn’t spoken publicly about layoffs. As soon as he stepped foot in and purchased the social media firm for $44 billion, Musk has fired the people at the helm of the firm – CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal and head of legal affairs and policy Vijaya Gadde. Ever since, rumours have been rife that employees would be laid off from the company, and approximately 25 per cent to 75 per cent employees would lose their job, as per reports.
