This chaos may have sounded the death knell for Twitter, but the toll on the company was only beginning as an email from Musk on November 16 would be the final nail in its coffin. After sending a companywide email to remaining employees demanding they commit to working “long hours at high intensity” or receive “three months of severance,” Musk hoped to secure the best and the brightest to help him with his vision for a new Twitter. Instead, employees left in droves. It’s estimated that out of Twitter’s 7,500 employees, only 2000 remain.
Add to that the thousands of contract workers who have also been laid off, and it appears that Twitter is on the brink of total collapse. Musk even had time to troll his followers in separate posts he tweeted a skull and crossbones emoji and a meme showing a gravestone with the Twitter logo on it. Soon after, Twitter told its remaining employees that the company’s office buildings will be temporarily closed, with immediate effect.
They have, as yet, failed to give a reason for this sudden and unprecedented move, but the indicators are that Twitter is moving in a new direction, and that direction is downwards.
