I've seen it happen twice in my career. One of the times it was a huge success, the other was a disaster.
The first one was probably a success because there was just one developer before, so there wasn't really any culture and he quickly got absorbed in the group that joined the project.
The second case wasn't that successful and the group that joined refused to adjust to the existing culture when it came to processes and guidelines, and instead tried to run their own race because that worked at the previous place they came from. They were all fired after a couple of weeks
Divorcing an employee from prior company culture is all about shock therapy. When you transplant a team from one company to another then breaking past culture is your number one priority or you will never get the loyalty of those employees to the new company's cause.
Commentators who question and chastise the motives of Elon and what he's doing to Twitter don't understand that you have to break the current culture at the earliest opportunity or you have lost the momentum to do it. It is why old Twitter is dead and those left are so fine-tuned to the Cult of Elon.

WTF is this nonsense? Have you ever changed jobs before, or worked in a corporate environment?
