Dorsey had on Saturday apologised to Twitter’s employees, a day after the company laid off nearly 50 per cent of its workforce as new owner Musk continues his aggressive revamp of the social media platform.”Folks at Twitter past and present are strong and resilient. They will always find a way no matter how difficult the moment. I realize many are angry with me. I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that,” Mr Dorsey tweeted.”I am grateful for, and love, everyone who has ever worked on Twitter. I don’t expect that to be mutual in this moment…or ever…and I understand,” he added.Twitter laid off close to 3,700 people on Friday.
