Recently, the billionaire said shared with Twitter users how he saved the company $3 billion in expenses.

"That is why I spent the last five weeks cutting costs like crazy," said Musk.

He added that if he didn't make the necessary changes, the outflow of Twitter in 2023 could reach $6.5 billion.

However, Twitter employees are negatively affected by his cost-cutting efforts.

Twitter Employees Now Bring Their Own Toilet Paper

According to the New York Post's latest report, Musk's cost-cutting efforts include laying off employees, even janitors.

Because of this, the social media company's physical offices are no longer kept clean.

The lack of janitors left the Twitter office in disarray. Because of this, employees need to face dirty bathrooms, food leftover, persistent smells, and body odor.

Some employees decided to take action by bringing their own toilet paper.

However, this is not enough, especially since Musk decided to close down two floors of the Twitter building.

If this continues, the dirty bathrooms and food stench could affect employees' health.

Twitter Janitors Went on Strike

Forbes reported that Twitter janitors went on strike.

Their activity happened on Dec. 5. Involved janitors conducted the strike together with SEIU Local 87.

They did this after the tech giant firm promised them they would be paid off in the first week of December.

Because of this, the California Labor Federation criticized Elon Musk's actions.

The agency said that the social media company didn't know how important it is to keep offices clean and respect janitors.

Aside from cost-cutting issues, Twitter is also facing other problems.

These include a massive Twitter breach that compromised around 400 million user data.

We also reported that the Twitter View Count feature disappointed many users.
