>> twitter laid off about 3700
9:46 pm
employees in november, not long after elon musk took over. ever since, more legal complaints of followed. including allegations the company has violated federal labor laws. failing to pay severns. san francisco now. technology writer for new york times. good to see. >> thanks for having me. >> welcome back. the timeline here, for context, it all begins back in november. no long one mosque of twitter, promising three months of severance. noting at the time 50% more than legally required. and severance agreements arrived, it was for one month's wages. if you stand lower than leaders required. >> that is why we filed 500
9:47 pm
individual arbitration demands and counting. this is not a win for elon musk. first off, this legal decision in of itself does look like a win for moscow. dragging out these -- in the company usually has deep pockets that can hold out. >> 100%. the lawyer, who also worked on class action suits against uber. and other companies. knows that a high-profile legal battle is that for plaintiffs. so according to the contracts to work at twitter. they were required to go into arbitration to begin with. the judge basically said, we are upholding the contract. so i think it, as much as he wants to be positioned as a win, not a lot rather. i think it is actually one of the rare reasons for a long. in this ongoing saga so far. >> part of that ongoing saga
9:48 pm
last wednesday, twitter employees were escorted out of their office in singapore. serving as the asia pacific headquarters. because the rent hasn't been paid. rent hasn't been paid on other promises as well. is this mosques planned for saving twitter? screw the landlords? >> it is funny because my colleagues and i, starting to get tips coming in. they are going to get evicted from these offices and moscow obviously is no longer the richest man in the world but i believe he is up there. first or second. part of his strategy is basically, cutting costs where we can. meaning literally not paying rent on seattle offices. they were evicted from. offices around the world in san francisco they are not paying rent. and i think that he and his basic strategy is to push it to the limit. as far as we can make it before we absolutely have to pay something.
9:49 pm
and only then will we start paying. and other thing is to keep the lights on. renegotiate contracts. to everyone they are working with. which is a real hardball way of doing business. >> one reason he is justified that is because back in november when he announced thousands of workers were being fired, he said that it's because the company was losing $4 million a day. according to time, mosques deal to buy twitter has an animal cost in interest payments of 1.3 billion dollars a year. twitter has nowhere close to making that money in money. so the question, on that formula, on that calculation. but more, what are the chances twitter just ends up going out of business? the twitter everybody idealizes wants and then there is the twitter mosque is looking at. those two things don't seem to coexist. >> 100%. twitter has, long before elon,
9:50 pm
lots of criticism of what elon has been doing. long before he showed up, the business was not that great. twitter for eight out of the past ten years was not a profitable company. they've been trying for a long time to get costs down to turn a profit. but elon's plan in theory, in some ways to reduce costs and a big way would have been great if he had kept the revenue where it was at. the big problem is that iran is not able to stop himself from tweeting insane things all the time and the advertisers started to flee. so at the same time he is sort of decimating his ad revenue, he is also sort of firing the folks who might have been able to help him to build it back up. so i don't know. there's potentially a cost cutting wave to turn this company around. that is if he stops tweeting basically. >> so it could be a day in the near future when there's no twitter? >> i think it's possible. i absolutely think it's
9:51 pm
possible. in the span of technology companies and history. these companies can rise and fall fairly quickly. >> from the my space days to facebook for, as big as it is. not what it used to be in terms of the powerhouse. the amount of time it took tiktok to rise is very short. so i don't think it is out of the question that twitter can go. >> what a shame. >> thank you. and some francisco. >> thank you sir. >> for the first time in six decades, the population of china has decreased. falling by 800,000 last year. the national bureau of statistics has released a slew of new information including data showing that it grew by 2.9% in the fourth quarter. well short of official annual 5.5%. for, that let's go live to hong kong. cnn's kristie lu stout is standing by. what does this mean and what does it say about china's economy as it transitions

through covid and tries to move on from zero-covid to zero policy. >> all of the state of marks a depressing and two foot has been a deeply challenging year for china. 2022, china posting economic growth gdp growth for 3%. for the fourth quarter, china posted gdp growth of 2.9% year on year. and china's population is shrinking. it is shrinking for the first time since the 1960s. the total population now about 1.4 billion people. china right now is counting the cost of an ongoing and historic property slump. also the cost of its zero covid policy which absolutely wrecked its economy last. year so much so that provincial governments were forced to pay millions of dollars. in fact we learned recently that guangdong province. this mega economic powerhouse province in the south of china paid 22 billion u.s. dollars over the course of the pandemic
9:53 pm
due to zero covid expenses. like mass testing campaigns. vaccination campaigns. this is one of the reasons why china abruptly ended its zero covid policy last month. and now, we are in the midst of the reopening and this exit wave of infections. but economists point out that this will only pose a short term economic pain. i want to bring up this statement we got earlier today from a senior economist. this is from -- tells us that. q4 has likely marked the darkest before the dawn. going on to say that with the reopening timeline front loaded, the economic outlook has beyond the near term. looking ahead, china's economic growth for 2023 is expected to rebound. based on a number of factors. number one, china will finally learn to live with covid, number two officials in china are showing signs they are now easing on the regulatory crackdown on its critical technologies sector. but thirdly. chinese officials have signaled

that they do plan to pass policies that will stabilize the chinese economy and that is why a number of economists and analysts that we've been speaking to say they anticipate china gdp growth this year to top 5%. back to john. >> kristie, appreciate you putting the pieces together. thank you so much for that. >> you got it. >> just a few hours now until the anticipated return of the no djokovic and his first match of the australian open 12 months after he was deported for his refusal to be vaccinated from covid-19. the 35-year-old is a nine-time champion down under and comes into the event as one of the favorites to claim his 22nd major title. which would tie the current record held by rival rounded all. the dallas cowboys moving on after a convincing win in the nfl wildcard game against the tampa bay buccaneers. quarterback dak prescott, dalton schultz where the game's first touchdown. no looking back from. there tom brady and the tampa bay offense struggled with
