Elon Musk plans to rehire some of the employees who were laid off during Twitter's restructuring, acknowledging that the job cuts were excessive.
Musk reduced Twitter's headcount by 80% to cut costs and drive profitability, but now recognizes that some individuals shouldn't have been included in the downsizing.
Linda Yaccarino, a former NBCUniversal executive, has been appointed as Twitter's CEO, and Musk has confidence in her abilities to handle operations while he focuses on product innovation.
Twitter faced challenging financial circumstances with negative cash flow and declining ad revenue before Musk's takeover, leading to a significant reduction in the company's valuation.
