Elon Musk

NEW: Email from Elon to Twitter engineers and designers: "Anyone writing software or doing design should be on the 10th floor of SF HQ. It is intended to be dense and intense. Thanks, Elon."

How much will it cost to get one of those awesome Herschel Walker badges? #onethread

Starting to think Elon paid 44m for Twitter NFT

“dense and intense” is also how ppl describe Elon

I doubt Buddah would think Musk is correct

underrated weird thing about that photo is the mirror behind the table just reflecting the lamp and whatnot

seems fine

Stop being Woke, Europe!

Lol saw one of his fanboys say "WELL TWITTER IS BASED IN US SO EUROPEAN LAW DON'T MATTER".

Be amazed if he doesn't adopt that hilarious legal reasoning only to dirty delete tweet after his lawyers msg him

thats bigotry against high net worth individuals

Money is speech, therefore taxes are censorship. And you can't advocate for censorship on Elon's Free Speech Bazaar.

(how does he tweet with a locked account?)

in many cases theyll unlock you once you delete the naughty tweet

you can see at the bottom there it says proceed to twitter to fix the issue with your account

ha wow weird

Good conversation. Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.

uh, whose misunderstanding, now?

He's Food

lol that Tweet means nothing and Apple is not fond of conversations being made public even meaningless ones

if musk and apple do get in a fight about the 30% thing it's going to be a lot of

https://clickhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/dnmtn4ksijwyep0xmljk.jpg

but it will be worse than that because he'll make the points in such a divisive and ineffective way that he'll strengthen apple's position.

If I'm Hungry, He's Food

wow ^

I didn't actually read that at all, hope that wasn't a mistake...

I don't know the ins and outs of the severance agreements, but this is a good letter.

So here's the thing. You can only violate people's legal rights and your own word so far before they lawyer up and come after you.

I really do hope Musk changes his mind and does the right thing - the employees deserve that. But it'll be fun as hell if he doesn't. pic.twitter.com/VA04hFDVBX

assuming there is some kind of standing for the employees to enforce an agreement they weren't party to (which it seems like there is from the letter?) then the fact that this can be litigated by dozens of arbitration cases rather than in court(s) or class actions should be pretty lol.

that said, the specific things he's accused of not doing are not going to cost him very much (it's little things like 401k match), so he'll probably just do them and settle.

He’s so, so dumb tho

RSU vest acceleration at $54 per share sounds expensive

that could be 15% of someone's salary or 500%

for engineers 50/50 cash/stock is the mean average, and the mean average cash pay is about 200k/year = 50k/quarter.

so if he owes 3000 engineers a quarter of stock, that's ballpark low hundred millions. they're not all engineers though, so it's probably less than that, maybe high tens of millions. not nothing but not going to be his downfall.

sure, but that is more than 401k match. And is the 50/50 mean at $54 or a lower price?

Also kinda depends on what his net worth is by the time the case settles

Who is spraying Musk in Kanye's photo? Is it Epstein?

$54 is the merger price (i.e. the price elon paid for all of twitter's shares) so it makes sense.

imagine the 50/50 split is the average for hires since twitter was a public company, but if you were employee #15 or whatever, you are probably a millionaire many times over, even before the acquisition - same if you were early in the door at any other bigtech company

this is the heart of it - the merger agreement specifically disclaims any twitter employee from enforcing the provisions of 6.9 (nice) via 6.9(e) (and 9.7), but the delaware court of chancery is a court of equity, not a court of law, where famously "he who comes into equity must come with clean hands", etc. etc.

is it a winning argument? i have no clue, maybe it feels a little odd that just a month ago the court of chancery was being lauded for holding elon to the letter of the law of the contract but would now be expected to look past the letter of the law of the contract (granted to enforce other parts of the contract that elon is breaching), but in both cases you have a breaching musk, so maybe it's not that weird

addendum: i forgot that this guy on twitter is going to arbitrate these claims, so it's likely not going to end up in the delaware court of chancery. but i'm assuming the arbitrators will be asked to apply delaware law. who knows! i am out of my depth here.

I opted out of binding arbitration fwiw (always do) but afaik of the 3000+ people he fired on nov 4 they couldn’t find anyone who did.

sure, but that is more than 401k match.

This is true. I don’t think they’ll get much more than 401k match if this actually ends up in arbitration though.

And is the 50/50 mean at $54 or a lower price?

At the time of joining. 54 is probably pretty close to the average joining price weighted by employee though. It was nearly 80 in 2001 when Twitter added like 2000 employees.

Big Lincoln project energy from that lawyer though. Hope he’s pro bono.

wow so much for free speech

Kanye West was suspended from Twitter after he tweeted an image of a swastika inside the Star of David. Elon Musk said the post violated the platform's rule against inciting violence. The tweet was deleted shortly before West's account was shut down. https://t.co/Fq5ADz5YAE
