I might be a bit idealistic here but I like the notion of respect. Disabling badges, laptops and email addresses of your employees with no direct communication isn't very respectful in my book.
Regular companies do meetings, shady companies send a pre recorded video to their employees, and then you have Musk, just logging you off. I guess he missed the part were "transhumanism" still contains "humanism"

Doesn't respect work two ways? You give respect, you get respect?
It's easy to make Elon Musk the bad guy, but people who were let go were freeloaders. Let's not try to make them anything but that, we've all seen plenty of Twitter employees using up work-time to be active on various social media. They didn't show respect to the employer because their work and demeanor did not reflect it.
The "boss bad, worker good" just doesn't apply here. Twitter is a troubled company, I'm surprised Elon bought it in the first place but I'm absolutely not surprised by the wave of layoffs.
You can assume the moral high ground and employ the talent that Twitter has decided to part with and prove your words with actions. Are you ready to do so?
Should we, the IT experts, not be thrilled by so much experienced talent being available for employment?
