The
layoffs on Saturday night impacted product managers, data
scientists and engineers who worked on machine learning and site
reliability, which helps keep Twitter's various features online,
the NYT report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Twitter did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for
comment.
The company has a headcount of about 2,300 active employees,
according to Musk last month.
The latest job cuts follow a mass layoff in early November, when
Twitter laid off about 3,700 employees in a cost-cutting measure
by Musk, who had acquired the company for $44 billion.
Musk said in November that the service was experiencing a
"massive drop in revenue" as advertisers pulled spending amid
concerns about content moderation.
Twitter recently started sharing revenue from advertisements
with some of its content creators.
Earlier in the day, The Information reported that the social
media platform laid off dozens of employees on Saturday, aiming
to offset a plunge in revenue.
