“Elon Musk, owner of Twitter wants humans being replaced by robots in Twitter,” says new reports
An ex-member of Twitter’s cleaning crew, Alvarado, who supports his family financially by sending money to them in Mexico, claimed that one of Musk’s most senior staffers told him that robots would soon render his position obsolete, which implies, Humans Being Replaced by Robots in Twitter soon.
Julio Alvarado, a janitor at Twitter for ten years, was let go by Musk’s team as the entire business underwent a major restructuring to adopt a harder-core mentality. Alvarado said that after Musk took over this business, private security officers would keep a tight eye on him as he cleaned Musk’s office. According to a BBC report, the four sacked janitors did not get any severance pay from Musk’s management team when they received their pink slips. One of them claimed she wouldn’t have enough cash to buy food or holiday presents for her family.
The layoffs took place immediately after the president of the janitor union announced last Monday that a strike was being considered. More than half of Twitter’s engineers have been let go by Musk and his team since they took over, symbolically cleaning house.
Alvarado was reported as saying, “I believe we were terminated because we belong to a union.” Since taking over Twitter more than a month ago, Musk has purged the organization.
When Mr. Musk took control in October, he quickly fired Twitter’s top executives. A week later, he let go of half of the company’s 7,500 employees. Two women who lost their jobs and argue that the layoffs unfairly impacted female employees have filed a lawsuit against Twitter. The discrimination action was submitted on Wednesday to the San Francisco federal court. According to the report, Twitter let go of 57% of its female employees compared to 47% of its male employees.
The staff at the social networking platform’s San Francisco headquarters, which the billionaire acquired for $44 billion, told the BBC that they were let go without being given any notice. David Chiu, the city attorney for San Francisco, is currently looking into the firings to determine whether the world’s richest person breached any laws. According to Mr. Chiu, Elon Musk has a long history of breaking labor regulations. “I feel for these workers, even though I’m not surprised this happened. We’re going to look into this more.
Adrianna Villarreal, fired after four years as a housekeeper at Twitter, told the BBC, “It’s a sad and frustrating thing for our families and children.” More than half of the engineering employees were let go by Musk. In addition, he fired the last week’s strike-related janitors.
The firings have attracted the attention of the city attorney for San Francisco, who told BBC that he intends to open an investigation to see whether Musk broke any labor rules. The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection is also looking into the business following claims that bedrooms had been erected at Twitter’s headquarters for employees.
Musk justified his choice to convert part of Twitter’s offices into bedrooms on Wednesday by stating he was “offering beds for exhausted colleagues.”
Since buying Twitter, Musk has let go of more than half of the company’s staff and hired several people from his other businesses as well as trusted business partners including PayPal mob pal David Sacks and private attorney Alex Spiro.
Conclusion:
Thus, it seems that layoffs will be continued and soon humans will be replaced by Robots in Twitter which is overtaken by Elon Musk.
