I imagine most of whoever is left at Twitter is on a visa, so yeah, they probably will follow Musk wherever he says to go. The alternative is people rip their families away from their homes that they've probably built over the years and move back to their old country.

Now, if Biden were to grant the power to protect re-employment to other companies for those on L visas, Musk is probably utterly fucked.

Musk is very anti-remote-work, so they have to do this anyway. Moving to Texas is only slightly less jarring than moving back to their home country which, in my experience, most people on visas visit regularly anyway.
