Yeah it's unpopular opinion but I wouldn't accept Elon's demands to stick around. Work-life balance is a thing, code quality drops drastically with overtime is a thing - diminishing returns. Look at Teslas' shitty quality for a prime example of how his management style is NOT geared towards actual quality.
I would have clicked the button, stayed around and done whatever required to do so, but also activated my LinkedIn profile to "looking" or whatever.
And yes the entire picture looks like guys that couldn't just say "yup see ya."
Actually, what Elon had been asking for was for employees to do their job - 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, doing actual work. He is targetting the extravagant Silicon Valley culture of luxurious benefits while actually doing (or being incapable of doing) real work - and many of these engineers had been vlogging about their luxury lifestyle. One in particular typically spent one hour a day actually doing work.
Actually actually, that was the first ask, and that's fine of course - I am well aware of what joke hours devs were typically doing (e.g. PV video). I'm referring to the "click this button if you're willing to work massive overtime and take Twitter to 2.0 or else you're fired" requirement.

I missed it, did Elon tweet something of that nature? I know the MSM spun it that way.
Aha, yeah, he sent an email:
