While millions online saw Twitter as a sinking ship amid reportedly hundreds of employees quitting, Elon Musk claimed the company saw an all-time high in usage.
will tell ya the reports of Twitter's death are greatly exaggerated -- in fact, although news spread quickly the app's on the verge of shutdown, Elon says it had one of its best days ever.
Thursday night, while #RIPTwitter became the number 1 trending topic in the U.S., the Chief Twit himself tweeted,"We just hit another all-time high in Twitter usage lol ... let that sink in." That tweet came after hundreds of his employees reportedly quit ... following his demands for people within the company to work"long hours at high intensity" or get booted.
The deadline for jumping ship or staying aboard was reportedly Thursday at 5 PM ... and it looks like a good amount were fine with saying goodbye. The reported mass jump prompted millions of tweeters to take it as a sign of the end for the bird app ... although the surge to which Elon referred might have a lot to do with people using the"dead" platform to talk about its death.
