The company has about 2,300 active employees, according to Musk last month.
The latest layoffs laid off about 3,700 employees as part of a cost-cutting move in Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of the company after massive layoffs in early November.
In November, Musk said the service had seen a “significant drop in revenue” as advertisers cut back on spending over content moderation concerns.
Twitter recently started sharing advertising revenue with some content creators.
Earlier in the day, The Information reported that the social media platform laid off dozens of employees on Saturday in a bid to offset a plummeting revenue.
