Twitter is in shambles after Elon Musk sent an email issuing every employee an ultimatum, urging them to join his “extremely hardcore” Twitter 2.0, or quit. A large percentage of the workforce has chosen the latter, and reports of chaos within the social media giant are rampant, with the hashtag "RIP Twitter" trending.
What I’m hearing from Twitter employees; It looks like roughly 75% of the remaining 3,700ish Twitter employees have not opted to stay after the “hardcore” email.

Even though the deadline has passed, everyone still has access to their systems.
I don't think Twitter will last through the weekend. Twitter is restricting employee access to all its buildings through the weekend with no reason given. The entire android team resigned. The world cup,the largest sporting event in the world, starts this weekend.

I was laid off from Twitter this afternoon. I was in charge of managing badge access to Twitter offices.

Elon just called me and asked if I could come back to help them regain access to HQ as they shut off all badges and accidentally locked themselves out.
As a protest to the current state of things, people set up a projector outside of Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters displaying a ticker of Elon Musk insults, ranging from the scathing “petulant pimple,” to the old classic “Space Karen.”

Elon Musk:

Mediocre manchild, pressurized privilege, petty racist, megalomaniac, worthless billionaire, bankruptcy baby, supreme parasite, petulant pimple, apartheid profiteer, dictator’s asskisser, lawless oligarch, insecure colonizer, cruel hoarder, space Karen.
The Space Karen meme was popularized back in 2020, when Elon tweeted to complain about inconsistency in his Covid rapid test results. An Epigeneticist responded to that tweet, explaining how the tests worked, and using the term. Since then, it has felt like the most appropriate way to describe the world’s richest thin skinned man, and it's a nickname he will never live down.
From this day forward, Elon Musk will forever be known as…

Space Karen went so hardcore tonight he locked himself out of his own building and had to call a guy he had just fired to let him back in.
