  It's a joke, pretty sure he's just a comedian and never worked for Twitter.

  This seems like it's probably not real, but it's very telling that I'm not 100% sure.

  It's unimaginable that any other company would do this, but a Musk company? Hard to say. His sense of humor is certainly not... universal.

  So... assuming this is a joke, what would the legal ramifications be for a company that terminated workers in that manner? And is there a legal distinction between being fired and being let-go/downsized?
