What are they going to do quit? Jury rig the software? Ha! The current developers are too stupid to add anything like that and quitting is better for the company than being laid off.
Honestly, what I'd be most worried about - if I were Musk - would be the leftist apparatus doing the same thing to his "new and improved" Twitter that they have done to every other attempt that has been made to get around the leftist control of social media. If he says he's cutting 75% of the workspace, and all of a sudden there is way less moderation going on, what you are going to see is:
"Twitter doesn't do enough moderation!"
"Twitter is absolutely FULL of racism, misogyny, bigotry, etc."
NYT, WaPost, all the other shitbag leftist propaganda outlets write stories about how Twitter (all of a sudden) is a hotbed of extremism (as if it isn't right now...)!
Apple/Google suspend Twitter on their respective appstores.
The hosting/infrastructure sites go after Twitter.
This has been their goto gameplan for every single person/company that has tried to get around their control of narrative via their control of social media. I could easily see them pulling the same shit with Twitter, and turning his 40 bajillion dollar investment into nothing. They would GLEEFULLY do this.
Twitter is already full of illegal porn. Its just ignored right now becaue Twitter is on their side and the right either doesnt know how to fight a culture war or doesnt care to. All leftists would have to do is stop ignoring it.
Especially through their DM’s. I dunno if it’s still the same and has probably been overtaken by the encrypted apps but for a long, long time it was the No.1 place to trade child abuse material.
Completely getting rid of porn would help get rid of a lot of leftist fucks, but it also would tangentially hit completely unrelated groups that have nothing to do with the culture war.
Yes, I'm a weeb and I'm talking about JAPANESE ARTISTS.

They'll do thst even if he doesn't fire anyone. The only way he can avoid those things from happening is to bow down to the left.

Probably what's going to happen
US in a nutshell:
"Spies are actively ruining our country using this tech!" - I sleep.
"Boobies." -REAL SHIT!
You're about 30 years late with the "muh repressed puritanical Americans" jabs.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were unhinged enough to set fire to the server rooms just to give one last fuck you on their way out.
Bonus points if all they achieve is immolating the switch cabinet on 3rd floor...
I call that a win win.
They would need to coordinate with the admins at the fail-over sites.
