Elon Musk Seems Not Keen On India, Shuts 2 Twitter Offices

Twitter Inc shut two of its three India offices and told its staff to work from home.
Twitter, which fired more than 90% of its roughly 200-plus staff in India late last year, closed its offices in the political center of New Delhi and the financial hub of Mumbai, Bloomberg reports.
The move reflected Elon Musk’s mission to slash costs.

It also suggested less importance to the market for now, given insignificant revenue, strict content regulations, and increasingly savvy local competition.
Twitter operates an office in the southern tech hub of Bengaluru that mostly houses engineers.
CEO Musk has fired staff and shut offices worldwide to get Twitter financially stable by late 2023. Yet U.S. tech giants from Meta Platforms Inc META to Alphabet Inc GOOG GOOGL Google eye India as a critical growth market.
Since the $44 billion buyout, Twitter failed to pay millions in rent for its San Francisco headquarters and London offices and auctioned off everything from bird statues to espresso machines to raise money.
Musk has also fancied the idea of bankruptcy.
Twitter also experienced significant glitches and outrages, most recently just this month.
