(*Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.)
In April 2022, Elon Musk first offered to buy Twitter. In the ensuing months, the future of Twitter remained uncertain. Twitter promised Tweeps that if they worked through the uncertainty, they would receive two months of base salary or on target earnings, a prorated performance bonus at target, the cash value of equity that would have vested three months from the separation date, and a cash contribution for health care if they were laid off within one year of the merger. Tweeps relied on this promise to stay with the company through this challenging transition. In October 2022, Musk finalized his acquisition of Twitter. Shortly after, Musk’s October 2022 acquisition, Twitter announced on November 4, 2022 that it would lay off approximately half its workforce. Instead of keeping its severance promise, in January 2023, Twitter released severance agreements offering only one month of salary.
