Elon Musk has sent an email to all Twitter workers with his plans to reduce the workforce, something that has earned him a class action lawsuit.
Here we leave the email in question, translated into Spanish:

Equipment,
In an effort to put Twitter on a healthy path, on Friday we will go through the difficult process of downsizing our global workforce. We recognize that this will affect a number of people who have made valuable contributions to Twitter, but unfortunately this action is necessary to ensure the company’s future success.
Given the nature of our distributed workforce and our desire to inform affected individuals as quickly as possible, communications for this process will be via email. At 9am PST on Friday, November 4, everyone will receive an individual email with the subject line: Your Twitter Feature. Please check your email, including your spam folder.
If your employment is not affected, you will receive a notification via your Twitter email.
If your employment is affected, you will receive a notification with next steps via your personal email.
If you do not receive an email from twitter-hr@ by 5 pm PST on Friday, November 4, please email peoplequestions (at) twitter.com.
To help ensure the safety of each employee, as well as Twitter’s systems and customer data, our offices will be temporarily closed and all access to credentials will be suspended. If you are in an office or on your way to an office, come home.
We recognize that this is an incredibly challenging experience, whether or not you are affected. Thank you for continuing to adhere to Twitter’s policies that prohibit you from discussing sensitive company information on social media, with the press, or anywhere else.
We appreciate your contributions to Twitter and your patience as we move through this process. Thanks.

As you can see, it was quick and concise. He wants to fire thousands of employees by email, without the prior notice required by California law, which is why he is facing the aforementioned lawsuit.
It is true that Twitter has a huge workforce, and that it can be reduced, but it is also true that Elon Musk has not been with the company long enough to know who is on and who is not.
It will be interesting to see how it has managed to decide so quickly who stays and who goes, although we imagine that HR already had quite clear ideas on this subject, or that they have been asking the directors of each department to have urgent data on the matter. .
What is clear is that on Saturday we will wake up with a different Twitter, with half the people behind, and that can affect the quality of the service.
