I would be hesitant to conflate Twitter workers with the common man. Twitter is reported to have around 7,000 employees total. How many of that would be based in the UK? A few hundred, tops?
How hand-selected would these few hundred Twitter workers be? Selected for reasons more than just their software engineering skills (which in reality, was a fraction of Twitter's workforce overall)?
This secretive firing and wiping of computers is more akin to Trump's firing of FBI Director Comey, who learned he was fired from TV and immediately locked out of his Office and papers seized, than it does with say, a factory shutdown via Bain Capital.
Comey's method of dismissal was due to mitigating the damage/purging of incriminating evidence he could inflict. This is not out of line with Elon's insistence that the Twitter codebase be locked for the last 60 days.
