They attribute the imminent Twitter "death" to Musk's radical changes, which include the overhaul of the staff and also the unilateral amendment of the pre-existing terms and conditions on which the platform operated.
Additionally, Musk sanctioned a temporary closure of Twitter's head offices in San Francisco, California, sending mixed signals to subscribers who have expressed their hopelessness regarding using the social media site.
"Effective immediately, we are temporarily closing our office buildings, and all badge access will be suspended. Offices will reopen on Monday, November 21. Please continue to comply with company policy by refraining from discussing confidential company information on social media, with the press or elsewhere," reads the notice addressed to the employees.
The users hid behind mournful hashtags to express their frustrations the situation gets worse with Musk's supposed insensitivity to their concerns.
