The workers were given an ultimatum by Musk. The time is on Thursday.
Insider reported that less than half of the employees accepted the offer to stay.
A video was posted by an employee who was about to be fired.
A video was shared online showing employees of the social media site who rejected an ultimatum from Musk count down the seconds until they are fired.
Musk told staff this week that they could either commit to an extremely hardcore version of the company or reject it and resign by 5pm. The time is on Thursday.
Insider's Kali Hays reported that less than half of the employees accepted the offer to stay.
The employee said in the video that it was 35 seconds. There is an hour and a half later.
A "Love Where You Work" sign glows in the background as he pans the camera to show four other people in an empty office.
We're all about to be fired from the social networking site. The former employee says he has been with the company for nine years. The other former employees were asked how long they worked at the company.
A man says they worked at the social networking site for nine years. Four years and two months was what another person said. A former worker said it would take nine years and a month.
He cheered as the deadline passed. A person throws his hands up.
The employee asked if they could try the security badges that allowed them access to the building. The offices were shut down after the resignations.

Workers flooded the company's channels with farewell messages after Musk told them to be willing to work long hours at a high intensity.
The ultimatum and reported mass exodus left a mark on the social media site, as users rushed to send farewell messages.
It's the most recent episode in the chaotic saga that's unfolded since Musk took control of the micro-blogging site.
The social media firm's workforce was slashed by the CEO after he acquired it. He laid off half of the employees at the time.
He tried to assure advertisers that the new platform was safe for them to spend their money on, but many brands have paused ads on the platform. Advertisers are unnerved by the prospect of less content moderation on the micro-blogging site, according to The Wall Street Journal.
An $8-per-month fee for a blue verification checkmark is one of the new features that Musk has introduced. The plan led users to impersonate brands and is being delayed.
