But with some staff opting to exit the San Francisco-based company rather than accept Musk’s new demands he appeared to alter his approach to employees working from home, reported CNN.
Earlier this month the company said that it was cutting around 50% of its workforce.
The recent announcement that Twitter had temporarily closed its offices came amid signs that large numbers of workers have now also resigned as they have not accepted Mr Musk's new terms.
Employees have been tweeting using the hashtag #LoveWhereYouWorked and a saluting emoji to show they were leaving the firm.
One former Twitter worker who wished to remain anonymous told the BBC: "I think when the dust clears today, there's probably going to be less than 2,000 people left."
They added that everyone in their team had been terminated.
"The manager of that team, his manager was terminated. And then that manager's manager was terminated. The person above that was one of the execs terminated on the first day. So there's nobody left in that chain of command."
Before Mr Musk took control of Twitter the company had around 7,500 staff. The firm was also reported to have employed thousands of contract workers, the majority of which are understood to have been laid off.
This comes days after Musk claimed to be sleeping at the Twitter HQ and working 'day and night' to handle and manage his takeover.
Has it been worth the sleepless nights?
