The second you’re unprofitable, he’s kicking you out the airlock. Guaranteed.
We really are moving towards a Cyberpunk future, aren’t we.
This is like one of the oldest sci-fi tropes to exist.
Bring your best code to airlock 3.
Who’s gonna hop into that spaceship with him? 😆

Eventually the food runs out… 😬
It’s nice to see labor fighting back. Especially against odds stacked against them.
It’s like, he doesn’t know whether or not it’s going to work, so delays paying anybody (except obviously the lawyers) as long as possible. When it really doesn’t work out, nobody gets paid. If it somewhat works out, he negotiates the payment down. Do you want it, or do you want more delay?
For people not reading the article, Twitter was facing a class action lawsuit, but they successfully sued to force employees to go through arbitration, which avoids a class action suit. Only problem is that arbitration rules say the employee has to pay a small fee for filing, but the company has to pay the arbitration costs. Twitter filed to force the costs to be split with the employee, but the organization that overseas arbitration said that’s against their rules and has refused to engage in any arbitration activities that Twitter isn’t paying for. The pricetag could be millions, and Twitter is simply not paying, so now the employees are suing to force Twitter to pay.
thank you 🙏
I wish there was a TLDR bot on LemmyI would rather keep this place bot free
I’ve seen one around some places, don’t remember where though.
How forced an arbitration even legal. I don’t get it.
It is not legal for employees alleging sexual assault or harassment. Because Congress passed a law making that illegal. Also, it is not legal for baggage handlers, because the Supreme Court said there’s an exemption for working in interstate commerce. IIRC Congress tried to ban it across the board last year, but it died in the Senate and then the House flipped so there won’t be another chance for a few years at least.

I would be so embarassed if I ever was a fanboy of this fucking dunce
Imagine being capable of getting enough loans to buy a company for $44B and not being able to envision basic consequences for your buisness actions
I am loathe to admit I was a fan (though not really a boy about it) in the early days of Tesla and SpaceX. I don’t even necessarily think I was wrong at the time, mind you — whether or not he deserved the credit for their achievements, his companies were pushing electric cars and rocketry in the right direction IMO — it’s just sad to see that once the curtain was pulled back, there was nothing but a narcissistic and delusional huckster behind it all.
I would say that a lot of people (myself included) fall into this boat. We were fooled a decade+ ago, but the truth is clear now
I didnt fan over him, but I definitely respected some of “his” earlier ventures, especially SpaceX. Now I just laugh when I hear his name
I have the same sentiment, it wasn’t necessarily the man I was a fan of, but I was happy to see someone using their wealth to build companies that can push humanity forward. Tesla turned out to be a dud in my opinion and SpaceX prospers seemingly despite Musk.
I’ll admit I was a minor fan of him. He seemed to have his ego pointed in a good direction. It was around the time those kids got stuck in a cave that I realised something was off.
I was never a hyper fan, but I’ll admit I was completely taken in by his PR machine, for a time.
Dude is the richest person in the world. Penny pinching and denying his former employees their due when he rapidly raises his wealth is outright evil. Well, I guess there is a reason why no good human ever accumulates hundreds of billion dollars. If you are good, your conscience will force you to use your wealth to make other’s lives better and you will lose your big B tag.
It’s not even just accumulating and giving that money away due to conscience. Nobody with a conscience could do what it takes to accumulated that large sum of wealth in the first place. You have to stomp on people and actively hurt the people around you.
That’s exactly how you get wealthy. Screw anyone you can, threaten them with eternal lawsuits, and you can get a huge discount on labour and other costs. Trump was famous for pulling the same shit.
Totally drinking the Gospel of Wealth Kool aid. You grind as much money as possible doing evil shit and then give a bunch of money away when you’re old so people remember you well and you get to direct the world through philanthropy. Carnegie 101

No surprise there. That’s how rich stays rich
