It looks like people who said that are staying on Twitter "until the end," may not have long to wait.

Recent departures have left multiple critical systems down to two, one or even zero engineers, according to a former employee who was familiar with the situation and spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation.

I was laid off from Twitter this afternoon. I was in charge of managing badge access to Twitter offices.
Elon just called me and asked if I could come back to help them regain access to HQ as they shut off all badges and accidentally locked themselves out.

@mike I feel terrible for the people who have friends there, I hope everyone manages to get contact info in case of  it's a shame that one person was allowed to do so much damage like that. Especially on a platform that has had so much global influence. Hopefully something will be learned from it.
