Just fake news all around, spread by a nazi, then boosted by Musk

-the woman in the video he's replying to is a Dutch far-right provocateur
-the farmer she's talking about isn't a farmer and doesn't live in the province he claims to live in
-he stole the story from facebook where it was posted by another guy, an actual farmer who was also lying
-No farmers have been forced to stop, and certainly not for the reason she claims (Dutch Debunk: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1633057193535631361.html )

Truly inscrutable politics~

"I sleep at Twitter, do you?"

"No I sleep in my house, with my wife."

“I have 2 kids. I see them every day. I recommend that.”

just because you're in a wheelchair doesn't mean you can't dunk

Arguments about disability and what work he has done aside, it seems pretty clear that he is being paid for the sale of his company. He is pretty much collecting paychecks as an installment plan, so any work he accomplishes at all is gravy, frankly. I hope they have to pay the guy an exorbitant amount for breaking contract.

The case with the Iceland guy might go a bit different than other cases it seems:

Further down in the quoted thread, they link to a part of the article that says Halli elected to receive the buyout payment for Ueno as a salary, rather than as a lump-sum buyout, because the latter would be taxed as capital gains (less) and Halli was fine with paying salary income taxes (more) because he'd benefitted from the Icelandic social system and wanted to give back at that level instead.

even the dogecoin guy was telling him it's not a good look and he still doubled down... now its deleted

lol if one of the lawyers tackled him and wrestled his phone away

Work being lines of code, I assume

The big payout being the one that he’s contractually owed lol

Yeah love getting to know Elon through questions like “hey can you have HR call me it looks like I’m fired but no one will talk to me” and getting such insightful insights into Elon as “likes to make an idiot out of himself”

The article that that is from seems to have been taken down. luckily its still up on the internet archive

Trump’s usage of Twitter gave me a constant headache but he at least just wanted to use it to projectile diarrhea his stream of consciousness all over the place. Elmo tries to do the same thing but then also tries to mix it up like a 2006 forums poster everyone hates. Can’t summon up the willpower to disengage and tries to roll with the punches.

good summary here:

you have to be a psychopath to get as much money as Elon has. any decent person will drop out to do whateverthefuck makes them happy long before hitting the multi-billion mark. Halli looks to be a fantastic example of someone doing exactly that.

a "normal" person would be absolutely wrecked by being personally responsible for a mass layoff and all the pain that brings to the people affected. you have to enjoy hurting people to choose being a CEO when you have enough money for several lifetimes

Yeah, I can entirely see Elon’s smooth brain thinking he can disparage this guy on Twitter and it will get him out of paying the millions he’s owed for selling his company.

Meanwhile some junior partner probably busted into the law office like the kid from the matrix "elon just fired haraldur"

https://www.icelandreview.com/news/haraldur-thorleifsson-sweeps-person-of-the-year-awards/

"the FTC also asked the company to “identify all journalists” granted access to company records"

"The agency asked Twitter to describe the “nature of access granted each person” and how allowing that access “is consistent with your privacy and information security obligations under the Order.” It asked if Twitter conducted background checks on the journalists, and whether the journalists could access Twitter users’ personal messages."

TrumpMusk: "RIGGED INVESTIGATION"

"UNCONSTITUTIONAL WITCH HUNT"

"PHONY RINO"

jesus christ his tweets are indistinguishable from trump now, just more boring

*musk looks out his window and sees a growing crowd of drooling disability litigation lawyers like a walking dead scene*

Disability stuff isn't anything you want to fuck with if you make it very obvious you fired someone with money for disability reasons. And Musk was dumb enough to comment exactly on this on twitter and is preserved forever.

Told by who exactly? The voices in his head?

"Why didn't anyone tell me the dumb shit I was making up to attack my posting enemies wasn't true?!"

Also "upon learning I have committed many crimes and he has done nothing wrong I would like to say it was all just a silly misunderstanding"

Holy shit.

I can’t believe any of this is real. I’m super, super glad for Iceland dude because honestly I think there’s a good chance Elon found a way to fuck him/wait him out and dwindle his finances.

But like just holy shit on the level of advertising your gross incompetence as an executive of any kind for the entire world to see. It’s Elon’s bi-polar coaster.

What a just insane, unhinged blowout lol.

I like how the best, pro musk spin he could put on it is that the man he committed open libel against is "considering" staying at twitter. That choice of wording stuck out to me.

That dude must of had a hell of a contract, huh?

I get that he's a drugged-out dolt who thought it was "le epic" to pull this sort of shit, but even short-term it makes zero sense and will lead to organizational collapse

"One former worker receives chasing messages from American Express, which provided their Twitter corporate credit card, for unpaid debt totalling thousands of dollars, through the credit card provider’s phone app.

The worker, like many, has raised it with remaining Twitter staff, who are unable to approve the outstanding amount for payment because it requires the approval of the former employee’s manager.

That person also no longer works for Twitter"

Lmao Taibbi sold his credibility for access to something nobody gives a solitary fuck about

Also lol at the absolute squirming, couldn’t have gone worse for taibbi and Gym Jordan. Amateur clowns all around

"journalist"

Taibbi has never questioned the idea that he may be receiving cherrypicked info from Musk and Twitter lol

If nothing else, the sheer level of right-wing American stooges that Putin has cultivated is astonishing
