Glad he lost.
I was thinking “this wouldn’t be successful in the USA”, and yep, it’s in a country with proper workers’ rights (Ireland). No doubt some of the other affected employees in Ireland (35 of them according to the article) will sue Twitter too.
Imagine taking pride in this fucking gold plated cesspool we call the US.
It boggles the mind.
I’ve lived in the USA for 11 years, and there’s some things in the USA that I really like, but the lack of worker and consumer rights is a major issue. At least California has some consumer rights, but it’s nowhere near as strong as where I’m from (Australia).
Damn, $600k times 35 people is only $21mil. That’s pocked change for this jerk. And yet, I’ll bet he fights paying just the $600k to the one person tooth and nail like the spoiled rich fuck that he is.
I’m really curious about the profile of who is still working there and their reasons for being there. Not speculating. Just the facts.
Most of these tech companies pay really well, although you can argue about the benefits of that when most of your money goes towards paying for a landlord’s retirement.
The boss may be a complete bell-end but most of them will never have to deal with him.
A lot of them are immigrants who will be deported if they lose the job. I know I’d rather live in either California or Texas than a lot of places in India. (Especially these days, if the immigrant is a Muslim.)
It would still take 375000 Rooneys to deplete Musk’s wealth.
Kill the techno-feudal lords.
Now, instead of paying Rooney the draft severance amount worth a little more than $25,000, Twitter, which is now called X, has to pay Rooney more than $600,000
lol. lmao.
What an amazing businessman!
This is the same guy who paid $44+ billion for Twitter so he could use it to have a personal conversation with a genuine retard.
I always worder if these sums include the fee of the lawyer. Would really be a much smaller payout if true.
I assume the attorney’s fees is one of many reasons the amount increased. Because they insisted on doing things the hard way.
It’s interesting how most of Musk’s wealth is in stock and such, when people start cashing out on it. What’s his liquid wealth?
I assume he’s been wealthy for long enough that he’s been able to cash out interest and dividends to make him a wealthy man, constantly accruing money simply by having money.
Seeing him tank on everything he touches( bringing down the value), I have to wonder if there is a limit to his liquid funds. The world’s richest poorest man or something.
Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.
Google SBLOC and you understand where he gets all his cash
You can’t fuck his horse, he had to sell it to cover his debts. It’s someone else’s horse now.
Is that the horse that he offered to that airline attended as payment to fuck him after he pulled out his penis in front of her on the plane? They liquidated that horse?
I fucking hate that so much.
“People think a thing is cool, so the person who owns the thing is cool and should get a monetary value based on a lot of people’s opinions”
And everyone is lIke “Yes this system is great! Let’s do this with more people”.
And then one day nobody could think the thing is cool anymore for…reasons (Tesla) and so that person loses money relatively proportional to how many cool points they lose in the minds of a bunch of other people.
But that’s a travesty and this person’s coolness now affects a lot of other people’s coolness to the point that it could severely fuck up the economy. So we have to keep telling this person we still think they’re cool so that shit doesn’t get really bad before we have a better plan in place to deal with it.
And then we’re like fuck that was stupid we shouldn’t do that again. And everyone agrees.
Meanwhile we’re still doing it with countless other people and things and we’ll act just as shocked pikachu face the next 30 times it happens.
It’s so fucked up and dumb.
“Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore,” Musk wrote in the all-staff email. “This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.”
This is so fucking cringy.
Coming from the guy who demanded tens of billions in bonuses from Tesla shareholders in order to ‘stay motivated’.
How hard is the core are we talking here? Like raw dog HTML no JS hard?
How hard is the core are we talking here?
HARDCORE TO THE MEGA!
It’s the attitude of a rich and entitled loser who thinks they know what “hard work” means without ever engaging in it themselves. These morons use language like this to, in their mind, weed out the weak and lazy, but in reality it just sounds deranged and is a massive red flag to any employee with a functioning brain.
I mean he renamed Twitter to X. It is assumed his actions will be cringy.
Sounds like by his own grading scale he is a dismal failure not worth what his title gets paid.
