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.
I always worder if these sums include the fee of the lawyer. Would really be a much smaller payout if true.
It shouldn't, generally the order will be worded something like "The plaintiff has been awarded $xxxxx.xx + legal fees " as in whatever legal fees they accrued the defendant will have to pay in addition
But then again, what do I know IANAL lol
I assume the attorney's fees is one of many reasons the amount increased. Because they insisted on doing things the hard way.
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.
"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.
So the opposition of chill. Like wtf is the big rush, are aliens invading and unless our social media is shoestring enough they'll obliterate us?
Can't believe this guy thinks he has anything meaningful to contribute to humanities future other than scaling up grind
And his idea of The Grind^^® is snorting ketamine and offering ponies to stewardess to get them to fuck him.
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.
How hard is the core are we talking here? Like raw dog HTML no JS hard?
Stackoverflow is IP blocked, get fucked
I mean he renamed Twitter to X. It is assumed his actions will be cringy.
Is he willing to pay for those extra hours?
Many companies promote a work culture where heroic employees are supposed do long hours for free just because good employees are passionate about their job. That's just exploitation.
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 a lot of 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).
Ireland has attracted many tech companies including Twitter, and the latter has a massive employment footprint here.
I wouldn't mind corporate tax breaks to public companies (like ireland gives) as long as the gov't taxes private wealth enough to fund decent social programs like Ireland.
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.
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 thought the thing was 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 if enough people stopped thinking they were cool. So we have to keep telling this person we still think they’re cool so that shit doesn’t get really bad until 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.
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?
If he tried to liquidate all of his Tesla shares on the open market over a period of time, I wouldn't be surprised if it was less than half.
SpaceX is another story though as it's not public and he can just do a private sale. He could probably get very close to what his shares are worth, maybe even more as it's value keeps going up each time they raise money.
Also the shares will be worth more the less it is controlled by him.
Maybe longer term, but short/medium term it adds 715 million shares which will increase supply dramatically. The price won't be able sustain that.
Google SBLOC and you understand where he gets all his cash
It would still take 375000 Rooneys to deplete Musk’s wealth.
Kill the techno-feudal lords.
That's the only reason to upvote anything musk.
Glad he lost.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
