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.

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.

RSU vest acceleration at $54 per share sounds expensive

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.
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Friday, 2 December 2022 06:21 (one year ago) link
sure, but that is more than 401k match. And is the 50/50 mean at $54 or a lower price?

$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
― 龜, Friday, 2 December 2022 12:25 (one year ago) link
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.

fwiw many of them are mcconnell just gave a very critical speech alluding to trump meeting with those anti semites, and even for those who arent it doesnt mean its a politically winning proposition it just means that they are either a. themselves fully radicalized or b. have been put in a tough spot where they dont want to alienate their more radical supporters but also have to worry about people who still think nazis are bad getting turned off
