Think about this. Staff soon may not have a place to work if they don't work from home. Musk hasn't been paying vendors or rent on Twitter offices for some time now. His failure to pay server costs caused outages and a scramble from what staff remained to move that info off google servers he didn't want to pay for and onto servers he owns. This kind of thing may not effect all users on a daily basis, but imagine if your landlord just decided not to pay the utilities bill out of your rent. Eventually the city or municipality would shut off the electric or water. You can't have a domicile that doesn't have electric and water. The place would be condemned and all renters would be out of their homes. That's basically a very similar scenario to what's happening at Twitter.
