50 Cent and Ice-T are among the rappers preparing to say goodbye to Twitter as it continues to seemingly implode under Elon Musk’s leadership.
After news broke that the social networking company temporarily locked all employees out of their office buildings on Thursday (November 17), #RIPTwitter started trending with anecdotes, jokes, concerns and everything in between.
Fif and Ice were among those with jokes, while others like Tory Lanez and Joell Ortiz were trying to figure out what was happening.
“Hey is any body at work today? Twitter,” 50 asked his 12.6 million followers, while Ice-T tweeted: “I LOVE TWITTER….! But if it implodes ‘I’ wont lose 44BillIon dollars.. Just sayin.”
Tory Lanez and Joell Ortiz didn’t seem to get the memo yet.
According to BBC News, Twitter employees got a memo Thursday that the offices would be closing effective immediately, and would reopen on Monday (November 21). The message landed on the same day Musk had made the final day for current employees to decide whether to stay for his new “long hours at high intensity” regime, or leave and get a severance package.
With 5pm PST Thursday being the deadline to make their decision, employees were reportedly quitting en masse, signing off on the company-wide Slack channel with salute emojis.
Since Musk’s $44 billion purchase of the company at the end of October, Twitter has been riddled with issues including mass layoffs of key people (that Musk later tried to lure back to the company) and a failed launch of the paid Twitter Blue subscription that resulted in a large crop of purchased blue checks spreading misinformation as they impersonated public figures.
Soulja Boy didn’t take kindly to the latter scenario, so much so that he decided he’s going to create his own app instead.
“Now u can just pay to be verified? Twitter has been destroyed,” he tweeted on Saturday (November 11). “Bro leave twitter alone @elonmusk wtf are you doing… I can’t believe this. Fuck it I’m going to create my own app. Bye Twitter.”
Doja Cat has also expressed her displeasure, as the “Juicy” artist found herself unable to change her display name as she usually does amid Musk’s changes. She went directly to the source to get it fixed, who was happy to respond and help out.
“Working on it! Pretty funny though,” Musk wrote to Doja.
Despite the issues, Musk seems to be keeping his cool, even tweeting memes that poke fun at the rumors the site will implode. He also claims that as of Thursday night, they “hit another all-time high in Twitter usage.”

Marisa why the fk you lying?? lmao twitter is readjusting and got rid of TOXIC employees who were PROACTIVELY censoring anyone who went against GOVT NARRATIVES. I see DX does the same smh #GovernmentPuppets
Which religion out of the over 60000 carries God’s narrative lol. I’ll wait.
Irony that you call people government puppets yet conservative right-wing people are very much part of the government and they use religion and nationalism to entice you to vote for them so they can take away more of your freedoms while making you think minorities are the ones doing that.
Wow. Nice ridiculous broad generalizations there. Both right and left wing idiocy uses religion and nationalism to get people to vote. It’s hilarious that people with zero grammar or spelling skills like yourself, don’t realize you’re EXACTLY the same as what you say y ou are against. Pepsi vs. Coke. Both bad for you. You’re an idiot. There are many deeply religious liberals. Kanye just got fleeced for speaking up against them in an unnecessary and uneducated manner IMO. Kind of like what you just did. Huh.

I hate social media but IMO twitter is in good hands now. Its no longer going to be an exclusive club for celebrities and paid paparazzi to lurk for gossip. Twitter is going back to the people. Anyone remember how celebrities and rappers destroyed Myspace ? Way too many people on twitter trying to make money one way or another and right now they are having a meltdown. Time to take it back to the days when social media was for pure entertainment. It was never supposed to replace the news or fan websites. It was just supposed to be a place where you can come to talk shit.
Narrow minded fools like this make me laugh, Twitter is and has always been dumb, unfortunately all this bs is just media stunts to bring more attention to Twitter, you’re dumb for thinking elon musk is on the side of the people and is gonna fix twitter for all the regular people to enjoy, it’s part of his scheme and his scheme is definitely not to make twitter great again or whatever you’re thinking, it’s to push his own agenda
I love the balanced, nuanced reporting here. LOL. People have decided Musk is a conservative and therefore bad. Twitter (like a lot of places) was simply banning people for speaking their minds. Regardless of how crazy someone is, they should be allowed to speak. All of Musk’s detractors said this same nonsense about Tesla. Space X. Everything he puts his hands on. It will be better than ever. Trust me. It’s crazy that liberals somehow became the people trying to censor speech.
Sorry but growing a cult of followers online and spreading lies and misinformation and cuckservatard propaganda is not free speech. sorry. You can cry about it or stop licking the boots of bigoted billionaires on a speedrun to theocracy.
Musk is conservative. He said it himself.
Hate speech is protected free speech. Sorry. Setting up a cult, or being a cuck and talking about it (like you just did), is also free speech. The problem with censoring free speech, is the issue of who decides what is hate or a lie? You with your double digit IQ that makes less than most people pay in rent a year? Nope. So every book that is fiction is a lie? You can argue that every religion is a lie. You can argue that gender is a lie, or more or less than two genders is a lie. Who is the ref on that? People should be allowed to express their opinions no
Matter how fucked if they are. You obviously are basically retarded and can’t have an adult conversation to defend your ideas, which are defenseless. Should N.W.A. be banned in retrospect? It’s misogynistic. It’s racist. It promotes violence. All of the stories they tell are lies. You’re a fucking idiot. It’s easy to understand why you have a horrible job and a miserable life. We know. Smiley face emoji.
Musk said he has been a liberal democrat his whole life. They (democrats) shifted the line on him and it pushed him to the right, actually. So he is now, and temporarily “conservative.” Musk is openly in favor of same sex marriage, prison reform, drug legalization, gun control, a woman’s right to chose and many other absolutely liberal policies. Be honest, you just don’t like the idea that Trump will be able to say whatever far out bullshit he feels like saying. It’s because of idiots like you that he got elected in the first place. I’m a lifelong liberal democrat. I’ll vote for whoever the dems put up there. I think Trump will get re-elected easily because of disingenuous morons like yourself. Thanks.
It’s funny how people come on here talking about “licking the boots of millionaires/billionaires”, but have no problem listening the those same people when it comes to who to vote for; or how many booster shots to put in your body. Those arguments ring hollow. Long story short, those kind of opinions do not matter.
Twitter will be fine. He just had to get rid of the scrubs that wanted to work at home at 4 hours a week.
Got to love when morons think social media is “OUTSIDE” screaming “freedom of speech” on a COMPANIES platforms. White trash thinks freedom of speech means freedom of consequences. Lmfao
Got to love when goofys think social media is “OUTSIDE” screaming “freedom of speech” on a COMPANIES platforms. White trash thinks freedom of speech means freedom of consequences. Lmfao
Got to love goofs that think “Goofys”is a word, and don’t know the difference between “Companies” and “Company’s.” Trying to sound educated? LOL. You probably can’t spell I.Q.. If you have a public forum and make money off of it, and you are a U.S. based company, you should allow opposing views to speak. Please explain how anyone who believes in free speech (which you should) believe they’re free of consequences, dummy. So I can say the government overreacted on their reaction to Covid, and therefore I will shoot someone in public and expect to get away with it? Please don’t ever try to type or spell again. Please.
twitter implosion aka the woke will leave. GOOD
