Mixing a lot of issues:
* Not treating employees "nicely" (original comment above)
* Legality of layoffs (should be straightforward to determine)
* Environment where people are asked to work unreasonably-long hours --> Irrelevant to layoffs.
I would argue there is very clear leadership happening: Musk made the unambiguous (and by definition, clear) determination that Twitter's staff is bloated by 50%. Cut the fat, take the short-term hit in ads and usage, rebuild it stronger. Whether I agree with how he determined the "fat" isn't important.
