Oh for fuck’s sake. This guy is going to fuck it all up.

Can we please fast-forward to the part where he gets kicked out or jailed for tax fraud?

I admire your hope that that will happen

There's always hope

“This sounds like a typical crazy Elon antic similar to his decision to try to ‘take on’ Sweden in his hatred of unions,” Laurie Burgess, an attorney at Burgess Law Offices representing the fired SpaceX employees. “Classic ‘act now and think later’ move and in this instance, surely a delay tactic to put off facing the repercussions of his unlawful actions.”

That kind of nonsense should initiate treble damages imo.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or at least bass and midrange damage.

He'd probably like that.

Sounds interesting but does anyone have a mirror?

Normally I'd just put it in archive.org to get past the paywall but the page is broken over there (first time I've seen that)

Edit: Was able to get a non-paywalled mirror. Linky Link

Screwing employees to increase margins will never offset his Twitter losses. Here's the perfect example of more money than he can ever run out of, so he really is just a baby throwing toys out of thepram because he still won't run out of money.

That's not just his money, there are other investors. He's throwing their money away with this frivolous shit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes of course. He cares even less about that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

But it does bring in an element of legal liability that him throwing away his own money doesn't.

There's the Elmo we know and love!

Musk sov cit dec in 3..2..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Would throwing out his whole argument here just be letting him have a trial by jury?
