The fallout from Elon Musk's great shakeup-and-layoff spree at Twitter in late 2022 continues this week with a new lawsuit filed in Delaware's Court of Chancery by six former employees who claim they are still owed severance, and that they were ordered by Musk's team to break laws.

It's not clear how long Elon Musk has known Linda Yaccarino, or how long he's been courting her to be the new CEO of Twitter. But it's pretty clear from the hiring decision that Musk knows advertising is going to be key to Twitter's future viability.

In typical fashion, Elon Musk made a major announcement about Twitter via tweet on Thursday without providing complete details — which, again, might have been handled differently if he had a PR department.

In the latest of many childish moves that show Elon Musk's downright Trumpian disdain for the media, the billionaire owner of Twitter has reportedly been threatening National Public Radio over the news org's decision to stop using its Twitter account.

Perhaps it's a way of navigating Twitter's legal liabilities, perhaps it's a step toward creating a WeChat-esque "everything app," or perhaps it's a bit of both. But Elon Musk's lawyers now say that Twitter "no longer exists," and he tweeted just the letter "X."

Twitter executives were scrambling late last week after the revelation that the platform's source code had been live and publicly available for download on the developer collaboration platform GitHub.

Twitter had a roughly 90-minute meltdown for thousands of users Monday morning, and while the platform is back up and running, these things seem to be happening more frequently in the wake of Musk's mass layoffs.
