Twitter is reportedly in "disarray" following a spree of employees resigning in response to new CEO Elon Musk's issuance of a "hardcore" ultimatum to his staff.

Musk told employees in an email on Wednesday that they had until 5 p.m. Thursday to choose to stay for "Twitter 2.0" or accept a three-month severance package. According to a report from The New York Times, hundreds of employees chose the latter prior to Musk's deadline.
