Twitter alerted employees all office buildings closed and badge access suspended

Between FTX and Twitter, I've run out of popcorn, and the local grocers are out of stock.

I think the best tweet on that thread is [0]:

"I was laid off from Twitter this afternoon. I was in charge of managing badge access to Twitter offices. Elon just called me and asked if I could come back to help them regain access to HQ as they shut off all badges and accidentally locked themselves out."

I'm not sure if it's true or not, but... sounds about par for the course.

Edit: As someone else pointed out, it's a parody account. Amazing that I couldn't infer that immediately.

If you aren't sure its real, why propogate it?

But Musk replied to the Tweet so I'm not quite sure what's real.

The sad part is that it's actually believable at this point.
