"I may be #exceptional, but gosh darn it, I'm just not #hardcore," tweeted one former employee, Ms Andrea Horst, whose LinkedIn profile still reads "Supply Chain & Capacity Management (Survivor) @Twitter".
She added the hashtag "#lovewhereyouworked", as did many other employees announcing their choice.
The departures highlight the reluctance of some of Twitter's 3,000 or so employees to remain at a company where Mr Musk earlier fired half of the workforce, including top management, and is ruthlessly changing the culture to emphasise long hours and an intense pace.
Mr Musk took to Twitter late on Thursday and said that he was not worried about resignations as "the best people are staying".
Mr Musk met some top employees on Thursday to try to convince them to stay, said one current employee and a recently departed employee who is in touch with Twitter colleagues.
The company also notified employees that it will close its offices and cut badge access until Monday, according to two sources. Security officers began kicking some employees out of one office on Thursday evening, one source said.
The Straits Times understands that the Singapore office is closed.
