He told US-based journalists, "We had anticipated its appearance."

The lone office of Twitter in Africa, in Ghana, laid off practically all of its employees.
This happened following Elon Musk's contentious $44 billion takeover.

After being denied access to work emails, Ghana staff members received information about the expiration of their contracts on their personal accounts.
The layoffs followed rumors last week that Musk intended to fire over 75% of Twitter's employees in an effort to reduce debt.
Musk reportedly fired numerous senior employees soon after becoming the company's CEO, including Agrawal, Ned Segal, the chief financial officer, and Vijaya Gadde, the director of legal policy, trust, and safety.
