Elon Musk and Twitter
With the recent overtake of Twitter, Elon Musk had made the executive decision to fire over half of the staff and create an ultimatum for the rest of the workers. Elon had given the rest of the workers 36 hours to decide whether to stay in the company or leave. If they had decided to stay, they would need to put their work into overdrive. If they quit, they would get a 3 months severance pay.
Many users of the site are saying that Musk had killed the well used company and will put it under. Others feel that he is going to start another great company that will change the world.
The news value of this article is that Twitter’s control had been taken over by Musk and that thousands of people are losing their jobs at this corporation. This affects the workers and the users of Twitter as there are many changes coming in the future. The lead drew me in as I am a fan of Elon Musk and what he has done.
Strange lead. Why focus on the World Cup in a story about Twitter. I get the connection; big events lead to lots of tweets. But that’s not the focus.
