The move comes after a week of uncertainty about the company's future under new owner Elon Musk, who fired CEO Parag Agrawal, as well as the Chief Financial Officer and several other top executives, last week.

The company temporarily closed its offices around the world on Friday after informing employees that they would be notified by email later in the day whether they were being laid off.

"In an effort to place Twitter on a healthy path, we will go through the difficult process of reducing our global workforce on Friday," an email sent on Thursday read, Reuters reported.
