The article cites "at least 7,000" actually.

It currently says:

> SpaceX, citing a need to get “leaner,” said Friday it will lay off more than 10% of its roughly 6,000 employees.

And no further mention of number of employees. Perhaps a previous edit had a typo.

You sure?

Literally from the article:

> The company employed at least 7,000 people in late 2017 when COO Gwynne Shotwell last gave a number — which means around 700 will lose their jobs.

I don't know what article you are reading, but that line isn't in it. This one is though:

> SpaceX, citing a need to get “leaner,” said Friday it will lay off more than 10% of its roughly 6,000 employees.

My mistake.

I somehow had another article on the same topic open, from TechCrunch.
