As Lauren Chen, the YouTuber, shared the before and after pictures of the Twitter office on the social media handle, the netizens were quick to spot a smaller number of women in the “Twitter after Elon Musk" photo.

While the first “Twitter before Elon" photo showed a lot of women at the social media office, the second “Twitter after Elon" photo had more men in it, leaving netizens wondering: “Where are the women?". Another asked if women didn’t want to work hard and it is only men who do.

So the women didn’t want to work hard? Not a good look.

I don't get it?

Only men work hard?

Tell me you support the patriarchy without telling me you support the patriarchy.

The “Twitter after Elon" photo was also shared by Elon Musk a few days ago after a Twitter code review meeting.

I thought that this does not exist anymore. Really ...no #woman there.

Elon Musk took over Twitter Inc. in a $44 billion deal and in his first move, fired top executives including CEO Parag Agrawal. Twitter also saw a mass exodus followed by mass layoffs recently. The company's offices were locked down Friday and hundreds of employees quit rather than yield to Elon Musk's demands that they resign themselves to working long, grueling days at the new Twitter.
