Twitter is dumb and Elon needs to launch himself to mars. And never come back. Crazy POS
Funny how he initially said that that was one of the reasons he wanted to buy Twitter to get rid of the spam and bots.
If Elon can't afford the same integrity by having a lawful layout notice, then why should his employees do the same? Also, isn't unemployment benefits such as these are paid by the employers through employers' tax?
You are so mistaken! This oligarch will take advantage of the people who are not in a position to leave and screw them over. Think about it: Do you think any stock grant that have a vesting period of 3-4 year will be worth anything when the company goes bankrupt?
You must be a complete idiot to put your best effort for this clown.
Practically, he has already destroyed twitter.
wait! We’ve spent trillions on welfare programs and climate initiatives and Elon could have saved humanity for only $44B???
Maybe we could get him to buy the US government, too!
You're half right. It's a tax, but levied against employers, not the general public. At least, in California, anyways.
Let's see... a 44B write off will save Elon how much in income taxes this year ?
I love this detail paraphrased from the NYT story.... Musk and his team held meetings this afternoon with key undecided employees to try to persuade them to stay. Employees were summoned to a conference room in the San Francisco office while others called in via videoconference. As the 5 p.m. deadline passed, some who had called in began hanging up, seemingly having decided to leave, even as Mr. Musk continued speaking.
Don't fool yourself; he doesn't pay any income taxes.
The first rule of the Billionaire Fail Club is that you don't mention Billionaires failing.
Twitter is going through a lot of changes. Wonder what will happen in the next few months.
I wonder what will happen in the next few moments.

Site traffic will not just slowly drift down.
There will be a network effect and it will drop like Wile E Coyote walking off a cliff.
Then down.
Down.
Then bankruptcy court.
All because of one man's ego.

Yep. While some quitting employees might be "dead weight".... still many of them are critical to how Twitter works. For example, IT services and software engineers who make sure that Twitter accounts are not hacked, spoofed, or compromised on a daily basis. Yes, those people are leaving too.... and they are first ones who WANT to leave because they are skilled IT experts who can easily find good jobs in other tech companies.
The mass exodus will leave Twitter a severely disabled service... like Truth Social.
It is a social media platform, not SpaceX. Why put up with his BS to work there?
Yeah...only $11B last year.
Elon Musk says he will pay over $11 billion in taxes this year
Elon Musk faces a hefty tax bill this year — possibly the biggest in U.S. history.
I might be missing something, but it seems the new team is the one sabotaging the company by all account...
It was reported and confirmed they would receive a severance if they refused to sign the pledge.
For this year. Given he seems to be driving Twitter into bankruptcy I'm not sure how this will all wash outYeah...only $11B last year.
