Not only would I not work there, at some point soon I’d refuse to hire anyone who could have left but hasn’t. A healthy organization needs people who can question bad leadership. Elon is driving those people away. Those who are left will be those who will support narcissistic leaders in whatever organization they later join. Obviously there will be exceptions - people on visas etc.

  Are we supposed to believe your real name is 1024core?

    It's less about anonymous account and more that this account is new, and has mostly only replied to posts about Twitter which all but this are flagged as dead. Not looking like a very useful account that is going to come in with constructive discussions.

    But I'm not the one posturing here.

I have a friend that works there and elected to stay. His reasoning was that he has been there 9 years, so if they did fire him soon, he would get more than 3 months severance (he thinks it would be 1 month for every year, so 9 months). I don't know if that is true (written into a contract?), but I also didn't have the heart to tell him that if a company goes bankrupt, they probably don't pay out severance.

  You might want to tell him severance gets worse with each round of layoffs. Would he get 9mo if he hadn't chosen to stay this week?

There are plenty of reason some may choose to stay, refusing to hire someone because they wanted to keep a good job seems silly.

  Parent is pointing out that if you view the current twitter situation as "a good job" then they don't think the way you view the world would be healthy for their business. There's no reason to believe this poster has any say over hiring decisions.

Sounds like you have a toxic hiring process anyways.

I have doubts you or anyone would actually follow through on such a ridiculous claim. I (and I have to believe many) would be thrilled to interview and work with folks who decided to stay at Twitter during the Elon takeover. In an era of wave after wave of frothy VC money anointing so many inexperienced and ineffective leaders in our industry, the opportunity to learn under a uniquely effective, authentic and bold leader are tremendous.
