A couple theories:

* You're a Musk fan boy and want to be noticed by him

* Lots of people leaving creates a power vacuum and (in theory) a chance to get that next promotion with less competition

* You're close to retirement/ you find the process of assimilating into a new company to be more exhausting than just sticking it out where you're at.

Suddenly working double hours aka 2 jobs (or more) for the price of one when close to retirement? That sounds pretty awful. Maybe if retirement is 1 December... still why not just quit in that case?

The new Twitter basically IS a new company. So you're going to have a learn a new company culture and new colleagues either way.
