With Twitter boss Elon Musk reinstating Donald Trump's previously banned Twitter account, the former US President curves Musk and Twitter, showing little interest in rejoining the social media platform. Twitter's infamously prodigal son may have returned, but it's not who you think.

Twitter headquarters currently seems to resemble the scene from Titanic movie as the ship is sinking, people are figuring out the news and sheer panic spreading across the board.

Ever since the cryptocurrency exchange FTX filed for bankruptcy on November 11, 30-year-old Sam Bankman-Fried has been swimming in troubled waters. The founder and former CEO of FTX now finds himself in the midst of a class action lawsuit against him, as well as FTX's celebrity backers such as TV personality Larry David, tennis player Naomi Osaka, and retired basketballer Shaqille O' Neal.

The impact of the FTX crash is not just limited to the investors who invested in these companies.

The tech world is not getting a breather as constant layoffs plague giants like Twitter, Meta, and now Amazon. It seems like each company is trying to outrank each other with its number of firings, with multiple reports suggesting that Amazon will fire over 10,000 workers this week. These layoffs will mark the highest share of job cuts in the company's history.

Just when you thought the new Twitter head-honcho's firing spree had come to a close, Elon Musk never ceases to amaze, laying off yet another one of the platform's employees. This time, over a tweet; on Twitter.
