Elon Musk's managerial bomb-throwing at Twitter has so thinned the ranks of software engineers who keep the world's de-facto public square up and running that industry insiders and programmers who were fired or resigned this week agree: Twitter may soon fray so badly it could actually crash.

Musk ended a very public argument with nearly two dozen coders critical to the microblogging platform's stability by ordering them fired this week. Hundreds of engineers and other workers then quit after he demanded they pledge to “extremely hardcore” work by Thursday evening or resign with severance pay.

Earlier in the week, some got so angry at Musk's perceived recklessness that they took to Twitter to insult the Tesla and Space X CEO. “Kiss my ass, Elon,” one engineer said, adding lipstick marks. She had been fired. Indicating how strapped he is for programmers, Musk sent all-hands emails Friday summoning “anyone who actually writes software” to his command perch on Twitter's 10th floor at 2 p.m. - asking that they fly into San Francisco if not local, said the employee who quit Thursday but was still receiving company emails.

Another said that if Twitter has been shutting servers and “high volume suddenly comes in, it might start crashing.” And indeed, one microservice briefly broke - the one people use to verify their identity to Twitter via SMS message when they log in. It's called two-factor authentication.
