A lot has happened since Elon Musk took over Twitter, and now #RIPTwitter trends as users project the end of Twitter. #RIPTwitter’ trends as users await site’s potential collapse?
After reports of mass resignations at Twitter on Thursday evening, users of the social media site eulogized the application — sending hashtags like #RIPTwitter and #GoodbyeTwitter to the top of Twitter’s What’s Happening section.
The tweet floodgates opened as a deadline set by Twitter owner Elon Musk expired. As the New York Times reports, on Wednesday, Twitter employees were given until 5 p.m. ET Thursday to decide to commit to the company and continue their employment in building “Twitter 2.0.”
The new owner moved from bringing new rules such as monthly verification fees to sacking staff across the globe. He went ahead to halt the serving of meals to staff, and now offices have been shut for workers until next week.
His latest update after the Blue thick was halted is that there will be a relaunch of Blue Verified on November 29th to make sure that it is rock solid.
Some Twitter users are of the view that “Musk turned one of the biggest sites on the internet into a crater within a month. I never want to hear anyone call him other than a dipshit ever again.”
The leadership style of Elon Musk, his rush decision-making without considering users’ preferences as stakeholders, and his entrenched positions on what he believes Twitter should have created more problems for the Twitter brand in the last month than ever.
Probably, he should have remained the Tesla boss and focused on his electric cars than social media.

Some users have however praised his boldness, saying “He is smart! We all know that. If he has to cut off employees to improve the Twitter experience, budget, and increase salary pay to the remainder of the hard-working employees”
Do you believe Twitter will come to an end as mass employees resign, and the message “#RIPTwitter Trends as users project the end of Twitter” continues to flood the media space?
