Twitter: Musk defends deep cuts to company’s workforce

Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk says he had “no choice” but to slash the company’s workforce as the firm is losing more than $4m (£3.5m) a day.

Half of the company’s staff are being let go, a week after Mr Musk bought Twitter in a $44bn (£38.7bn) deal.

Twitter staff have been using the platform to talk about their dismissal.

There are concerns Twitter could water down content moderation but Mr Musk said the firm’s policies remain “absolutely unchanged”.
