Semi seriously, I think Musk would use a move like that to conveniently encourage the kind of people he doesn't want at Twitter to self selectively remove themselves rather than go through a painful HR process of finding and identifying them manually.
Exactly this. Musk doesn't seem to have any patience for political nonsense - from either side of the political spectrum. The kinds of employees that would do this likely aren't a culture fit in a Musk-run operation, where pragmatism is the order of the day. You can always find another employee who isn't a PIA.
I characterize the organizations he creates as pragmatic. They exist to objectively look at problems and solve them. You cannot solve hard engineering problems in any other way.
While I don't think you are wrong... I have to wonder what % of the staff at Twitter that is. I'm sure their core application doesn't have a bus factor of 1 but... a mass exodus of staff (5%? 10%? 20%?) could be an interesting problem.
