I’m not well versed in California/USA labour laws but does the haste and lack of cause for firings seem like grounds for civil suits?

Not all Twitter employees are in California; you generally can't do this in Europe, so it'll be interesting to see how that pans out.

My guess would be either ignoring the problem altogether or "pulling out" of Europe employment-wise and then ignoring any ramifications of that for as long as possible.

California is At-Will. You can fire for “no reason”. Someone could try to claim your reason was a lie and that it was actually based on discrimination against a protected class though.

Certainly, but the cost of what those inevitably settle for will be far less than keeping the employees on payroll or paying severance.
