Elon Musk’s Twitter conducted yet another round of layoffs this weekend, reportedly firing 50 employees in an effort to further cut costs at the company.
The layoff struck engineering teams related to advertising and Twitter’s app, according to The Information. Musk has laid off thousands of Twitter employees since gaining control over the company in October.
Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
Musk has complained of plunging revenue since taking over Twitter, with many advertisers leaving the platform.
