ACCRA, GHANA- In less than two weeks since Elon Musk took over the Twitter company, there are already concerns that the company is choosing to ignore key risks in its biggest international growth markets.
On Friday, November 4, reports emerged of a massive layoff of employees across its only African office in Ghana’s capital city, Accra. Till last week, staff of the Twitter company in the company’s Accra office had been working remotely since its announced that it would open its first African office in Ghana in April 2021.
According to reports, only one employee appears to have been retained in the Ghana office after the job cuts which also affected the company’s India office.
The Ghana office was opened to some fanfare last year with the company saying it wanted to be more "immersed" in African conversations.
