Do Twitter employees have a safe place to discuss this?

  Phone, email, and in person are safe if you trust your counterparty?

    Personal email, obviously. Never discuss anything of this nature on any communication medium that is owned by your employer. There's a reason "Direct Message" labeling overtook "Private Message" in chat apps.

      Depending upon how sensitive I’d generally try to avoid written communications in general. It’s easy for even well-meaning friends, current or ex-workers to forward something without thinking it through.

  On them. I absolutely would have no trouble finding / creating a space and the Twitter people are likely far more capable.

Washington Post isn't a random blog. https://www.washingtonpost.com/search/?query=twitter+elon&facets=%7B%22time%22%3A%22all%22%2C%22sort%22%3A%22relevancy%22%2C%22section%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22author%22%3A%5B%5D%7D https://www.washingtonpost.com/search/?query=twitter+elon&fa... Did a quick search of Elon + Twitter. Everything they reported seems factual and tied to things that actually happened? If Twitter does lay off a large amount of people will you admit that Washington Post probably had good sources or continue to be continually skeptical? I think part of wanting a good media atmosphere is rewarding news sources that are shown to be reliable - and I would argue Washington Post is close to that.
