Twitter's workforce is expected to be gutted as soon as today, four people with direct knowledge of the matter told NYTimes. Managers of the social media platform have been asked to create lists of employees to cut.

Billionaire Elon Musk, who became "Chief Twit" on Thursday after finalizing the deal to purchase Twitter for $44 billion, immediately ordered company-wide cuts. The people in the know weren't entirely sure about the scale of the layoffs.

Musk has recently said that he planned to cut 75% of the company's 7,500 employees, leaving a workforce of approximately 2,000.

The layoffs would occur before Nov. 1, when employees are scheduled to receive stock grants as compensation. Musk could avoid paying the grants by laying off workers before that date.

On Wednesday, Musk walked into Twitter's San Francisco headquarters carrying a kitchen sink in preparation for his takeover. He tweeted: "Entering Twitter HQ - let that sink in!"

The world's richest man also changed his Twitter bio to "Chief Twit."

Musk has already fired Twitter's chief executive, chief financial officer, and other executives.

I assume primarily a step to disable Twitter as a pro-Democrat election campaign vehicle. And preventing a similiar functionality in the future.

A propaganda tool just switched sides - to another deep state faction.

codis Are we talking about the same "musk" grandson of the canadian leader of the "technocracy" movement, backed by Masons and Rockefellers here?

scrutinizer I didn't know his family background, but I am not surprised at all.

Basically what I expected.

I've watched many interviews with Elon Musk. I think he's sincere and speaks his mind - an entrepreneurial Donald Trump, without the Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He's a lot better than Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, or a hundred others we could name. Or a thousand. I have hopes he can turn the censorship culture around.

However, the danger I see ahead is that the CIA, GCHQ, DARPA, DIA, DHS, DoD, MI5, MI6, and all the other Deep State false flaggers are going to post kiddie porn, racist rants, toilet humor, and bomb threats on Twitter, in order to discredit Musk's free speech ideals, and cause him to backtrack into censorship. Watch out for it. I'd almost be tempted to lay bets on it.

I wish I had a means to contact him and warn him of what's coming.
