Elon Musk’s Cuts at Twitter? A Data Center, Janitors, Some Toilet Paper

The New York Times (NYT) (12/29/2022)
  • Since acquiring Twitter last October ($44B), Musk has rapidly slashed costs by shutting down a vital data center in Sacramento, instructing Twitter not to pay office rent (“renegotiate or terminate leases”) and firing janitors.
  • Musk’s acquisition saddled Twitter with billions in debt and he claims that the company has a negative cash flow of $3B.
  • Musk has fired 75% of Twitter’s workforce since taking control.
  • Employees claim that smelly food (trash), body odor and dirty bathrooms permeate the San Francisco office without janitors.
