The Facts

  • Twitter has told employees that the company's office buildings will be temporarily closed. Large numbers of staff have reportedly quit after new owner Elon Musk issued an ultimatum to work "long hours at high intensity" or leave.

  • The departures include many engineers responsible for maintaining the platform. With the temporary closure of its offices, multiple users began to issue predictions about the end of the social media giant.


The Spin

Right narrative

The current Twitter tantrum by the woke, laptop-wielding left is bizarre to average, blue-collar workers. Jobs should have high standards, and most people don't simply have the choice to storm out. Musk is trying to run a business, and the chaos surrounding Twitter and its employees has only made the left seem even further estranged from the working reality of the average American.

Left narrative

Musk has continued to make one chaotic decision after the other since taking control of Twitter, and his refusal to see the failings in his plans highlights his misunderstanding of the company. Ironically, many are leaving the platform that Musk has stated he wishes to be used by all. Even if Musk continues to deny it, the bubble has burst at Twitter.
