Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk has defended sacking about half the company’s workforce, saying he had “no choice” as Twitter was losing more than $4m (£3.5m) a day.
Mr Musk, the world’s richest man, took over Twitter in a $44bn (£38.7bn) deal.
Twitter employees who were sacked filed a class action lawsuit on Thursday arguing the company was making big job cuts without giving 60 days’ notice, in violation of federal and Californian law.
