This happened in Singapore earlier this year too. A friend of mine was affected. HR pretty much just sent out an email and told them to pack their shit and go home.
Elon bought Twitter to ruin it because he didn’t like the direction the conversation was going there. He didn’t like the Town Square discussing anything to do with how capitalism has reached dystopian levels of capture by the richest and how something must be done. This is now he got the Saudis to help him buy in, because they wanted it dead before there could be another Arab Spring.
Sometimes being at a company in the end times can be fun and chaotic. You have a sense of comeraderie with everyone who's going through the same thing. With the amount of overwork Musk mandates to keep his ego going, I could see everyone pretending to work hard while he's around, then fucking around, looking for new jobs, etc the rest of the time.
Even then, there are also people who just can't afford to get fired (for whatever reason), so that sensation of dread is always keeping them from quitting and searching for something else.
I initially wrote "how is it newsworthy anymore" but really as long as that's how twitter communicates with news orgs, that's twitter's official statement about anything they're asked
