Oh shit lol. Twitter HQ in San Francisco tonight. Twitter users are sending out ‘last tweets’ amid another worker exodus and fears the site could go dark 
Turmoil at Twitter reached a new level on Thursday, as users witnessed in real time the mass resignation of staffers in the wake of Elon Musk’s $44 billion takeover. Some questioned whether the social media company would survive the exodus of staff on top of previous layoffs of around 3,700 workers.
“Goodbye Twitter” and “#RIPTwitter” were trending with more than 60,000 combined tweets, and hundreds of workers reportedly left on Thursday after Musk’s 2 p.m. deadline to commit to his strategy or resign. Some users speculated that they were sending out their last tweets and that the social network would soon stop working.
Departing workers took to the social network, sharing sentimental, humorous and defiant messages.
Matt Miller, who said he worked at Twitter for over nine years posted a video       from what appeared to be inside the company’s offices as the deadline came. “We’re all about to get fired,” he said nonchalantly while standing next to four other workers.
“I walked away from my dream job today with a full heart because of the people I got to work with everyday,” said Jessalyn Johnson, a departing Twitter Real Estate and Workplace Strategy operations manager. Johnson shared photos of what she called “the best 4.5 years a girl could wish for” to her timeline.
Kristyn Kawaja, a senior client account manager, tweeted that leaving was one of the most difficult decisions she’d ever made. “Coworkers turned into family, and clients turned into trusted partners and friends. I wouldn’t change this experience for the world,” she said.
Musk himself tweeted on Thursday evening in the wake of the departures, in what appeared to be a reference to Twitter’s dire finances.
“How do you make a small fortune in social media? Start out with a large one,” Musk said, after previously claiming the company was losing $4 million per day, which necessitated layoffs. Musk took out more than $13 billion in debt to complete his deal and is liable for over $1 billion in annual interest payments.
