Twitter lays off 30% of its talent acquisition team

I wonder how much of this is economy versus Elon wanting to instill the type of workforce he wants by replacing the cause at the source. Similar to how companies make no politics policies and then give people that don't like that a generous severance.

Probably 0 to do with Elon given that he hasn’t bought Twitter yet. Who cares what he wants to do when he hasn’t written the check yet?

True, but their hiring freeze was pretty close to the acquisition announcement. So I feel like that is partly to blame.

I'd imagine it's entirely due to the economic downturn, as most high growth tech companies have slashed hiring this year.

They have, but this is a long-term play. Slowing hiring is one thing, but slowing your ability to ramp up is commitment to slowing hiring for a long time in the future.
