I am sure their sources are Ligma, and Johnson

At this point I can not believe anything reported by "mainstream" news, they are wrong more then they are correct. Especially when it comes to This topic

Can’t say for sure what’s going on; was let go on Friday over a Zoom call.

Are you disagreeing that layoffs are happening at twitter? Elon told investors it would happen, and he needs to increase profit by $1.5B to stop losing money. Layoffs are guaranteed. The question is will it be 25% as reported or 75% as Elon promised. The answer is we can’t know because nobody knows. It’ll probably something in between.

The investors in the acquisition? A company doesn't need to be listed on an exchange to have investors.

I am disagreeing that they have happened, or that news sources have any accurate or reportable info on what will happen

They have a bunch of rumors, and panicked employees as "sources" none of which are likely in a position to know anything with any degree of certainty and it is widely irresponsible to report on it as if it was factual
