Let&#8217;s just dive right in.<br \/>\nmost read<br \/>\nMass layoffs at Twitter: It was Elon&#8217;s first full week as the boss of Twitter post-$44 billion acquisition. Sweeping layoffs were said to be on the way \u2014 and, well, they&#8217;ve begun. After a painfully impersonal heads-up email went out Thursday evening, entire teams are waking up to find their access suddenly revoked. With reports suggesting layoffs could impact up to half the company, Twitter employees have reportedly taken to referring to the whole thing as \u201cthe snap\u201d (\u00e0 la Thanos). A class action lawsuit has already been filed alleging that Twitter isn&#8217;t following the proper legal processes here.<br \/>\nLayoffs everywhere: Meanwhile, news of tech industry layoffs continues to pour in. Lyft let go of 13% of its workforce, Stripe cut 14%, Opendoor reduced its workforce by 18%, Chime parted ways with 12%, and more. Meanwhile, both Apple and Amazon have reportedly gone into hiring freezes.<br \/>\nGoogle kills Hangouts: We knew it was coming, but this week Google put the final nail in Hangouts&#8217; coffin, shutting down the chat-focused web app (the Hangouts Android\/iOS apps were shuttered last year) in favor of Google Chat. Of course, given Google&#8217;s history with chat apps, I expect at least two more to be launched and\/or shuttered by the time I finish this newsletter.<br \/>\nFalcon Heavy returns to space: This week SpaceX launched its Falcon Heavy rocket for the first time since 2019, finally moving forward on a mission that had been delayed (\u201cdue to payload readiness issues\u201d) since late 2020.<br \/>\nAmazon expands its Music service: \u201cThe company said it will now offer Prime subscribers a full music catalog with 100 million songs, instead of the previously more limited selection of just 2 million songs,\u201d writes Sarah, \u201cand will make most of the top podcasts on its service available without ads.\u201d<br \/>\naudio roundup<br \/>\nWhats up in TC podcast land this week?
