Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter is taking dramatic turns every day. After news of mass layoffs, various reports are suggesting that many are resigning from the company after the new CEO’s ultimatum to the employees. Reportedly, Elon Musk asked them to adapt to “extremely hardcore” working hours or they would risk losing their jobs. Soon after the notice, the company reportedly faced mass resignation. Following this, Twitter’s office is temporarily shut and badge access has also been revoked. Expectedly, the micro-blogging platform is now abuzz with people showing concern about the social media platform - so much so that the hashtags #GoodByeTwitter and #RIPTwitter are trending too.
