Musk's first deal since taking the helm of Twitter: the acquisition of human resources startup Laskie
CTOnews.com, May 17 (Xinhua)-- Twitter has agreed to buy human resources technology startup Laskie in a deal worth "tens of millions of dollars", according to The Information's Erin Woo. This is also the first acquisition launched by Musk since he took the helm of Twitter.
Since taking the helm of Twitter, Musk has been cutting costs, firing most of his employees and launching a new profit model for Twitter Blue.
CTOnews.com note: human resources technology startup Laskie is still in the seed wheel stage and has built a platform technology that can help match job seekers and companies.
According to The Information sources, two co-founders of Laskie and five employees of the company are now working on Twitter.
Twitter's motivation for acquiring Laskie is unclear, and some foreign technology media speculate that Twitter may position it as a competitor to Microsoft LinkedIn after integrating Laskie's technology.
