New Delhi, Nov 4: A lot of Twitter users experienced issues with the microblogging service on Friday morning. Several people reported having trouble logging into the website.
According to reports, the outage began about 3 am and experienced a large rise around 7 am.
Last week, Elon Musk took over Twitter and ousted its senior executives. He has also begun today’s mass layoffs. According to an unsigned internal document obtained by The Verge, Twitter employees received an email informing them that layoffs would soon start.
The internal document also claims that employee badge access to Twitter’s headquarters would be “temporarily” turned off. According to the internal memo, employees will get an email by 9AM PST on November 4 verifying whether or not they have been laid off.
It’s anticipated that Musk would lay off about half of Twitter’s 7,500 employees.
At a town hall meeting last summer, Musk told employees that Twitter had to “rationalise headcount,” which was a prelude to him saying that he would make job cuts there.
Twitter agreed to take Musk’s offer to buy and privatise the social media platform in April. Musk quickly cast doubt on his willingness to uphold the deal, claiming that the business had not fully disclosed the quantity of spam and phoney accounts using the site.
