Ex-Tweep here. US employees need to really thank the WARN act. Without it everyone would likely be fired on Oct 31 with no severance. Now everyone is kept on the payroll until Jan (NY until Feb!) and then getting one more month of base salary. We'll see what happens with lawsuit if they manage to get their Feb vest and bonus as well. (they deserve the bonus at least prorated to Nov).
BTW, lots of ML people got hit, also some brilliant ones. Cortex org got hit hard. I guess Musk doesn't care about people running experiments in Notebooks on expensive GPUs.
50% layoffs and likely more attrition soon due to mandatory RTO and people who cannot work 996.
as I said earlier, he probably thinks the entire twitter ML/AI can be served by tesla dojo cloud. he might hire more loyalists from tesla to see that happens in twitter.
regarding RTO/996 I dont see why any good developer should still stay beyond say six more months when economy starts to recover. Musk may think he is a Messiah but so far he has shown he's just a slavedriving billionaire. Those who can escape would as soon as they can & twitter will be left with lifers.
