Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Elon Musk bought a 9.2 percent stake in Twitter in early April, making him one of the company’s largest shareholders. The same month, he made an offer to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to buy the entire outstanding shares in the company.<\/b><\/p>\n

Twitter has reportedly fired almost all its employees in Ghana, leaving only one, a week after Elon Mask took over the company. \u201cThe company is reorganizing its operations as a result of a need to reduce costs,\u201d read the email sent to staff, cited by media reports.<\/p>\n

The dismissed Ghanaians expressed their resentment in interviews with western media. \u201cIt’s very insulting. The entire thing. From the mail to the lack of next steps to the tone of the letter. Just everything. Ridiculously insulting,\u201d one of the staff complained.<\/p>\n

The company noted that nearly 20 laid-off employees must continue to perform their duties until 4 December, in accordance with Ghanaian law. Musk, who also owns SpaceX and Tesla, recently bought Twitter for $44Bln. The process of Musk taking over the company as chief executive ended on 27 October.<\/p>\n

The businessman “temporarily” dismissed the board of directors of the company, becoming its sole chief. Musk began talking about buying Twitter back in April, saying he wanteed to buy the company because he believed it could champion “free speech”.<\/p>\n
