Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter was marked by legal battles, sudden executive firings, and internal chaos. After attempting to back out of the deal, Musk was forced to complete the acquisition under court pressure. Upon taking control, he introduced abrupt changes, including mass layoffs and erratic directives. Employees faced confusion and fear as internal communications broke down, pranksters added to the disorder, and key engineering teams were left understaffed. The instability raised concerns about the platform's future and its ability to function under Musk’s leadership.
