There have been layoffs on the social networking site.
The layoffs come a week after Musk bought the company.
After firing top executives, Musk has now moved to lay off half of the global workforce.
There were reports this week that Musk would cut 75% of his staff, but the new CEO of the micro-blogging site denied the reports. About half of the company's employees would be fired, according to a message that was sent on Wednesday.
On Thursday, an employee asked if the "Red Wedding" had begun, and minutes later, an email was sent to all of its employees telling them that layoffs would begin Friday.
Here's the first official communication from Twitter's new leadership to its staff, a week after Musk took over: a fun game where you get to find out if you're laid off or not based by 9am tomorrow, based on whether the email pops up in your Twitter account or personal account. pic.twitter.com/tpJsAkiaHp

The email said that they would be reducing their global workforce on Friday.
Workers would find out via their personal emails if they were laid off. They would get an email through their work accounts if they were still employed.
"This is an incredibly challenging experience to go through, whether or not you are impacted," the company email said.
One employee affected by the layoffs said it was a break-up by text.
Ahead of the 9 a.m., the removal started. Email Friday. Many people assumed they were on the cut list when they were locked out of their work accounts.
According to employees and messages seen by Insider, more than 1000 people had lost their jobs at the micro-blogging site.
A group of people at the company's office had drinks on Thursday after employees said goodbye on a messaging service.
The company may have followed the WARN Act. Employers are required to give 60 days' notice before a mass layoffs.

Some employees I'm hearing from at Twitter are desperate to get laid off and get severance. The work culture there is beyond toxic.
