Yes, although I'm sure some talented people who can't afford to lose their job (e.g. can't have a break in health insurance, visa is tied to Twitter, are in a tough financial situation) will also stay.

The problem, I would imagine, is that desperate and/or sycophantic are indistinguishable from talented to Musk. Note how he decided to fire people who wrote less code than others, not understanding that the truly talented people write less code because a) they're more efficient and/or b) they're working on more thorny issues which require more thinking and less coding.
