Elon Musk seems determined to remake Twitter in his own image — with some help from the men in his trusted inner circle. 

In his first days at the helm of Twitter, Musk has installed a group of loyalists and friends that includes his personal lawyer, as well as the tech investors David Sacks and Jason Calacanis, two Silicon Valley veterans who regularly mix it up with supporters and critics alike on their podcast and on social media.

Sacks and Calacanis are not household names, but they have emerged as two of the most recognizable voices in the world of tech. They often jump into the sociopolitical fray with their popular podcast, “All-In,” frequently voicing skepticism about the political establishment, mainstream media practices and even the directions of some Big Tech companies.

Musk’s “war room” also includes the investor and podcaster Sriram Krishnan, a former Twitter product leader and partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, and Jared Birchall, a wealth manager who heads up Musk’s family office. 

Musk’s team has started laying off wide swaths of the company’s workforce. In an exchange at an investor conference Friday, Musk appeared to confirm that his team had laid off half the company’s workforce, according to CNBC.
