I think it's safe to say this is entirely fantastical. I mean, we can't even make sense of the first sentence:
A senior Twitter executive quit the company after he refused to install illegal locks....
So the conversation went like this?
Listen, Elon, I'm not going to install those locks, and if you're going to fire me over it, I'll sue. Oh, you're not going to fire me? Well then, I quit. And I'm going to sue for asking me to install those locks. You know, asking and quitting. which are well-known causes of action!
But we're in the "eLoN bAd!" mode, which just short-circuits any of this so nevermind.
God damn I think this was written by a ai. I like how its explained away as a feature that is used by several nbc execs, and that it would never lock someone in, just out, because of fire code reasons.
Sure ^^.
Thats my guess though, asked to install locks like this and proably dont feel comfortable doing it because it could potentially be against the law. A licensed handyman would know enough they wouldnt do it.
Maybe we can find out more about the lock situation in the context of these bedrooms, huh? Okay, I know standards for journalism have fallen, but that article mentions neither locks nor bedrooms. Not even anything similar.
The whole thing was unnamed inside sources saying how Twitter was circling the drain. My favorite sign of impending failure, though, was that Musk had fired the catering staff. I wonder if it was the same quality of catering staff that didn't exist at any company I've ever worked at?
Looking at the text out of Benzinga again, it really does have that flat, featureless, slightly disjointed AI feel about it. Benzinga is some sort of financial news outlet, and that's where this whole "machine written" articles thing started years ago.

Why would an executive do handyman work instead of you know, maintenance who know how to install ANYTHING an exec is cluelessness about?
Then why wouldn't exec say "I have no idea how to do that" end of story.
Exactly. How dare Elon try to make him do that. He should sue!
First thing that come to my mind, was that nbc guy with the special "locks" on his door.

The original article had a hotlink on "bedrooms at the headquarters" which took you to this article on the same site:

You may be on to something!
