Twitter to staff: Look for "job or no job" emails Friday AM

• The email told employees to expect to receive email from the company's HR at their work address if they still had a job, and at their personal email if they were laid off.

The big picture: The layoffs will cap a tumultuous first week for the Musk era at Twitter. Varying reports have suggested they could affect as many as half of the company's roughly 7500 workers.

• Musk is under pressure to increase income and reduce costs after paying $44 billion for the company, which took on $13 billion in debt as part of the deal.

What's next: Musk will now try to deliver a wide range of contemplated new revenue-boosting features with a much smaller team in place.

• He is also expected to order remote workers back into the office next week, sources have told Axios.
• The offices will be closed Friday during the layoffs, the company-wide email said.
