Oh, I’ll get you to talk, sooner or later…

That’s what I thought

You think it’s reasonable to refuse to pay employees what they are owed?

Paying severance isn’t a “hurdle” to “overcome,” it’s the cost of doing business. Not paying for things you have to pay for is not overcoming a hurdle. It’s running into it and continuing to run.

I hope he pays you for this kind of oral service.

Well, well, well, look who’s defending their beloved billionaire. It’s truly fascinating how some people can overlook glaring issues and defend questionable decisions. Let’s dissect your defense, shall we?

Firstly, you claim that since Twitter is now in private hands, there’s no need to paint a picture for the public. Ah, yes, because transparency and accountability are such outdated concepts, right? Who needs the public’s trust when one person can make all the decisions behind closed doors? It’s not like Twitter is a platform that millions of people rely on for news, communication, and information.

You also applaud the efforts to make the platform more economical, but conveniently ignore the consequences. Sure, reducing the team might save some money, but what about the impact on content moderation? By firing a significant number of content moderation staff, Twitter has allowed extremist content to flourish, tarnishing its reputation and driving away advertisers. But hey, who needs ad revenue when you have a billionaire at the helm, right?

Speaking of advertisers, you seem to brush off the importance of brand safety and the impact of hate speech on ad placements. Advertisers understandably don’t want their brands associated with extremist views or hate speech. By failing to address this issue effectively, Musk has driven away advertisers, causing a significant loss of revenue for Twitter. It’s not “childish” for people to criticize such negligence; it’s simply holding a company accountable for its actions.

And let’s not forget Musk’s refusal to pay rent on Twitter’s offices. It’s truly admirable how he thinks he can just disregard contractual obligations and leave property owners high and dry. Such behavior shows a complete disregard for the law and basic decency.

Oh, and the whole bedroom installation in the San Francisco headquarters? That’s just downright creepy. Who in their right mind thinks it’s acceptable to convert a commercial space into a residential one without proper zoning? Musk’s actions in this regard are not only inappropriate but also demonstrate a lack of respect for regulations and the communities in which his company operates.

While it’s true that many billionaires own media outlets, that doesn’t excuse Musk’s questionable decisions and mismanagement. Controlling the narrative should never come at the expense of allowing hate speech and extremism to run rampant. Musk’s actions on Twitter are not the signs of a genius businessman; they’re the actions of someone more interested in their own ego and power.

So, before you rush to defend your beloved Musk, take a step back and consider the real consequences of his decisions. Twitter deserves better leadership and accountability, not blind adoration from its defenders.

Half the time a site just refuses to work. I click on a link to a tweet, and it’s either “Ooops…” or a sign in window. This can’t be good for a social media site, that mainly gets its value from the number of users. Disregarding laws in Europe regarding the firings is also a very shortsigthed decision that will bite them in the ass.

Many here want to see the company fall, just because a person is bought it that’ll whom they despise. That’s just childish.

The only bad decision on musks way so far was buying twitter for simply too much.

What the actual fuck???

Not paying bills, rent, employees’ severance and bonuses? This has real consequences for ordinary people who aren’t asshole billionaires. I don’t think anyone here wants the company to fail because they despise him. We want it to fail because he’s a terrible person doing terrible things.

Pure drivel.

Guys, we found Elon

💩

What about the severance for those employees?

I think it’s important to be critical; Musk is someone who I tend to be neutral with, and I refuse to align myself with the “eLoN MuSk bad!!!” crowd, because I’m a fucking adult.

And the second worst decision was shooting a shitty car into space.

I don’t have a moral judgement on that but I agree with one microbiologist who spoke about it. It is the single most influential event in the history of all life on earth.

Because it won’t just crash into a planet or zip off to nowhere it will just orbit for who knows how long. Breaking apart by outgassing and random microimpacts. Containing who knows how many protected and suspended bacteria and fungal spores. Pieces will reach every major body eventually. Including ones that can support life, such as Europa.

The impact of this event could stretch out for billions of years. Long after the sun ruins the inner planets the outer moons could still support life.

He’s a man-child. And one of the most powerful and influential people on earth.

Look no further than his “zuck is a cuck” comment. I’ve encountered salty gamers with more emotional maturity than him.

Yeah, I have seen this mentioned in literally dozens of news articles.

That’s very professional of them.

Wow, you heard it straight from the source:
