Why It Matters: After acquiring Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022, Musk controversially fired 85% of the staff. Currently, the value of Musk's rebranded social media platform has been a point of concern.
爲什麼值得關注：伊隆·馬斯克於2022年10月以440億美元收購了推特後，頗具爭議地解僱了85%的員工。目前，馬斯克重新品牌的社交媒體平台的價值成爲一個關注點。
Fidelity, one of the companies that helped Musk acquire the platform, last month valued the social media network below $10 billion, a significant drop from the price Musk paid for it.
其中，富達是幫助馬斯克收購該平台的公司之一，上月其將社交媒體網絡估值降至100億美元以下，較馬斯克購買價格大幅下跌。
Earlier this year, Musk's other venture, Tesla, also saw significant layoffs. The electric vehicle manufacturer reduced its workforce by at least 14%.
今年早些時候，穆斯克的其他創業公司特斯拉也進行了大規模裁員。這家電動車製造商的員工人數減少了至少14%。
