Esther got laid off.
https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-twitter-layoffs-esther-crawford-1850162371
Twitter CEO Elon Musk has a message for employees: Loyalty means nothing. Over the weekend, Musk laid off more than 50 employees at the social media company, including one of his most vocal supporters, product head Esther Crawford.Crawford famously made headlines back in November when she quote-tweeted a photo of herself sleeping at the office days after Musk took over Twitter in order to meet his crazy deadlines. Despite criticism from folks who said Musk was making Twitter employees work round the clock to prove themselves, Crawford took it in stride, stating at the time that “doing hard things requires sacrifice.” The Platformer newsletter first reported Crawford’s dismissal.

Just like in the "should we torture y/n" days when we were very worried that squeamish human rights do-gooders would stop Kiefer Sutherland from waterboarding the guy who would tell him where the nuke was set to go off.

Elon Musk now has bodyguards flank him everywhere inside Twitter HQ — including accompanying him to the bathroom. He is reportedly paranoid that someone in the company may go rogue & stage a coup. https://t.co/BdTQvvJmqg— William LeGate (@williamlegate) March 6, 2023

he also doesn't understand the point of office space. having to constantly justify your existence to heartless bureacrats is what drives people to despair at initech. the audience is meant to laugh -- bitterly -- at management's lack of humanity, not the employee's lack of relevance.

Mr Thorleifsson is worried that Mr Musk will not honour the contract he signed with Twitter when he sold them his company."This is extremely stressful. This is my retirement fund, a way to take care of myself and my family as my disease progresses. Having the richest man in the world on the other end of this, potentially refusing to stand by contracts is not easy for me to accept," he said.
