Mike Masnick ✅LOL. Musk claims he's going to sue Microsoft for not paying $42k for the API.
Warren Terra@mmasnick
Can you imagine being this guy's lawyer?
Gregor Kalinkat@warren__terra @mmasnick not sure it’s worse than being an engineer at Twitter RN (it might be)
@gkalinkat @mmasnick
I assume the engineers are paid better and have a looser dress code and other rules. The engineers' hours are probably a lot worse, though, and the demands probably even stupider.
And at least the lawyers aren't trapped by an H1B visa at a time when there's a lot of laid-off software engineers.
Darrin West@obviousdwest @gkalinkat @mmasnick
There's a lot of speculation they're a lot of what's left.
I can't imagine anyone with a lot of options staying and putting up with his nonsense, while he berates them and cuts the perks and guarantees any equity they built is worthless.
But an H1B holder, if they quit, has to find a new sponsor within weeks. They have to do it while competing with tens of thousands of laid-off software engineers. If they look while still at Twitter, they might anger him.
