Even though the walls appeared to be coming down around him, Musk continued to keep his followers up to date.
The billionaire was making fun of the situation on the internet as the future of the company was in doubt.
Insider has learned that company officials told employees that all of their buildings were temporarily closed. Musk was worried that employees would sabotage the company, according to Zo.
Musk was keeping things light as a lot of sad hashtags trended on the social media site Thursday evening.
He asked how he could make a small fortune in social media. Start with a big one.

After months of legal back-and-forths, Musk bought the social network. He fired top executives of the micro-messaging service.
In his first company-wide email earlier this month, Musk told employees that they could no longer work from home. They could stay at home if their manager approved.
He offered the company's remaining 4,000 employees a choice: commit to Musk's version of "Twitter 2.0" or be considered part of a voluntary layoffs.
The deadline was at 5 pm. Less than half of the company's staffers chose to sign up for Musk's new vision.
