Twitter might lose even more employees following the mass layoffs<\/a> that halved its workforce earlier this month \u2013 and after the company fired engineers who publicly called out its new owner. Elon Musk gave the remaining staff an ultimatum and asked them to commit to an “extremely hardcore<\/a>” Twitter, going forward. “If you are sure that you want to be part of the new Twitter, please click yes on the link below,” he reportedly wrote in an email that links to an online form.<\/p>\n

The executive apparently said it will mean “working long hours at high intensity.” He added: “Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.” The email said those who don’t sign the form by 5 PM ET today would be let go and receive three months\u2019 severance pay.<\/p>\n

The work is stacking up, too. Alongside the Twitter Blue subscriptions and verification drama, the company seems to be working on end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for its direct messaging feature. Researcher Jane Manchun Wong spotted code<\/ins><\/a> in Twitter’s Android app suggesting E2EE is on its way.<\/p>\n
