IANAL but I follow some: fired and laid off employees may have a recourse beyond the WARN Act, state legislation regarding layoffs and even unlawful dismissal.

The contract Elon signed to acquire TWitter included promises on layoffs and the treatment of employees. This makes the employees what are called "third-party beneficiaries to the contract". This is to say that in addition to legal restrictions on firings and layoffs these people can potentially sue under Elon's own acquisition contract.
