Musk has fired thousands of employees around the world, dismissed various departments, and asked the remaining employees to be ready for a hardcore work culture since taking over as the head of the social network. Musk recently told employees that there would be no more layoffs and that the company would begin to hire. That didn't go as planned. Musk didn't give any notice of the layoffs on Thursday.
