#3Did Twitter file a California WARN notice? If not, they need to do so and give 60 day notice to workers in California.
So, don't accept anything that doesn't preserve your rights to your Tuesday equity grant.
Details here: https://edd.ca.gov/en/Jobs_and_Training/Layoff_Services_WARN
Key Provision: "Layoff of 50 or more employees within a 30-day period regardless of % of workforce. ...."
Penalties for Violation: "A possible civil penalty of $500 a day for each day of violation. Employees may receive back pay to be paid at employee’s final rate or 3 year average rate of compensation, whichever is higher."

#4From the linked article:
> The company has yet to release a formal announcement of the acquisition. The communications department has gone silent. Rumors have swirled about layoffs, with some notices going out quietly.
Is it just me or is this headline totally misleading?
No formal announcement yet folks.

Considering breaking the law is one of Musk's seemingly favorite hobbies, I wouldn't be so sure on a WARN notice. The punishments for non-compliance isn't very much.

Doesn't seem like an insurmountable obstacle. From some Googling:
"Employers who fail to provide notification must provide their laid-off employees with back pay and benefits for the period of the violation (which means the amount of time by which their advance notice fell short of 60 days)."
The value of ripping off the Band-Aid could easily be worth two months of severance in his mind.

Why is the headline misleading? You don't need a formal announcement for something to be news. Particularly since the formal announcement being referred to there is just the announcement that Twitter was acquired by Musk.
