Hundreds of Twitter Workers Resign After Declining to Go "Hard Core" for Musk 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hundreds of Twitter workers resigned Thursday after rejecting new owner
Elon Musk's one-day ultimatum to go "extremely hard core" or leave with
three months' severance pay. Twitter has closed its doors until Monday
as it figures out which former workers it now needs to cut access for,
and amid rumors Musk is worried about internal sabotage at the company.
Musk reportedly met with some employees in hopes of convincing them to
stay. The hashtag #RIPTwitter began trending on Twitter. On Thursday
night, a light projection on Twitter's San Francisco headquarters
trolled Elon Musk with the words "bankruptcy baby," "apartheid
profiteer" and "space Karen," among other insults.
