Elon Musk asked Twitter employees who agreed to click “yes” on a form in the email. Those who don’t by 5PM Thursday will be let go with 3 months severance.

His email transcribed by me:
Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore. This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.
Twitter will also be much more engineering-driven. Design and product management will still be very important and report to me, but those writing great code will constitute the majority of our team and have the greatest sway. At its heart, Twitter is a software and servers company, so I think this makes sense.
If you are sure that you want to be part of the new Twitter, please click yes on the link below:
[Google form link]
Anyone who has not done so by 5pm ET tomorrow (Thursday) will receive three months of severance.
Whatever decision you make, thank you for your efforts to make Twitter successful.
Local man continues to embarrass himself
When Elon first took over twitter back in October and laid people off, two jokesters pranked the media by pretending to be fired twitter employees with the last names Ligma & Johnson.

The events surrounding Elon Musk the last two weeks are a great reminder that, despite all the hand-wringing about “cancel culture,” the real threats to workers and free speech in America almost exclusively come from the powerful.
