Are we sure HR wasn't laid off? The article notes Twitter didn't respond to a request for comment because the comms staff was laid off.

Another classic Musk maneuver. Tesla (in)famously doesn't have a PR department.

His PR department is his personal Twitter account.

I'm quite certain they're aware of the law. I also know Musk has violated it before.

You seem to be implying that's irrational behavior, and therefore won't happen.

I agree that it is irrational.

It's also been 2 full days since one of the people in the suit received their termination information though so I would bet they know what Twitter's plan was for at least their termination. If not why didn't they have the info?

It makes no sense. Can we apply this to all the other layoffs and probably upcoming layoffs in the coming weeks from big tech? How is Twitter the only company guilty of this?

Most companies approach mass layoffs pretty carefully, announcing the terms up-front, as evidences by the Stripe and Lyft examples this week. Twitter is the only company doing mass layoffs that's owned by Musk, to answer your last question.
