Elon Musk plans to eliminate about 3,700 jobs at Twitter Inc, or half of the social media company’s workforce, in a bid to drive down costs following his US$44bil (RM208.78bil) acquisition, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Musk also intends to reverse the company’s existing work-from-anywhere policy, asking remaining employees to report to offices – though some exceptions could be made, the people said.
