   Not I, that's for sure. Not without fact-checking, so I asked Grok, and here's what she told me:

   When Elon Musk took over Twitter, the company had approximately 8,000 employees. Since then, Musk has fired roughly 80% of the workforce, which means about 6,500 employees have been let go.

   This drastic reduction left Twitter with around 1,500 employees. Now, if you're wondering how a company like Twitter, which was once bustling with more people than a small town, can function with what seems like a skeleton crew, well, that's Elon's management masterclass for you.
