Plans reportedly reveal that Elon Musk plans to cut 75 per cent of Twitter’s workforce should his deal to buy the social network go through, according to The Washington Post.

The $44 billion deal is set to be completed by the end of October, after the Tesla founder initially pulled out, before being threatened with legal action.
