Why this is happening

While there are speculations that the deal would come through, it also signals a change in the ways Twitter will be operated and run.
Changes?
There may be more layoffs and a change in administration and finances. It has been alleged that Elon Musk will lay off 75% of workers after their acquisition. This triggered a panic in the Twitter workforce. This hasn’t been confirmed yet.
