Twitter Inc. is hiring, according to slides from a company talk tweeted by owner Elon Musk, following sweeping job reductions in a cost-cutting drive since the billionaire took over the social network.<\/p>\n

The first slide had the words \u201cWe\u2019re recruiting\u201d with no further details.<\/p>\n

Musk, who didn\u2019t say when he gave the talk, has undertaken a dramatic restructuring that initially cut the firm\u2019s headcount in half.<\/p>\n

Hate speech impressions on the social network are lower and reported impersonations have fallen, according to the slides which cited data with mid-November dates.<\/p>\n

New user signups are at an all-time high, averaging over 2 million a day for the seven days to Nov. 16, the slides also showed.<\/p>\n

In a follow-up tweet, Musk said he sees a path to Twitter having more than 1 billion monthly users in 12 to 18 months.<\/p>\n
