If it was only that Elon had said it, I might agree. But he also had multiple rounds of layoffs (after lying every time and saying "this was the last!"). He had multiple horrible mandatory meetings forcing people to drop everything and fly over the country. He forced people to print out their code so he could review their work.

Nobody good stays during ALL of this.

I wouldn't say nobody, there's likely folks held captive by H1B visas with limited options/mobility

If you really want I can qualify my earlier statement, I thought it was obvious:

That means "nobody" is talking about the group of people who have the option of "waiting around a little bit to see how things played out before jumping ship". H1B visa holders aren't included in that earlier group, so I didn't think a further qualification is necessary.

H1B people can and do jump ship. The bigger issue was Twitter laid off so many people it was a poor time to look for a new job.
