Read our privacy policy An Elon Musk associate told Twitter’s fired cleaning staff they would be replaced by robots, according to a report. “I think we were fired because we’re a union.” Julio Alvarado, who had worked at Twitter for 10 years, said that after Mr Musk’s takeover of the company he would be escorted by private security while cleaning certain areas of the building. And he says that he was told by someone on Mr Musk’s team that his job would soon become obsolete as human cleaners would eventually replace human ones. Mr Musk immediately fired Twitter’s top executives when he took over in October, and a week later, fired half the company’s 7,500 staff.
