Elon Musk Destroys Twitter

I remember when that term just meant insertion and penetration could be viewed.

I was confused today that the few people I follow on twitter had several crappy clickbait posts showing in their timelineā€¦ then I finally glanced at the bottom of them:


:nauseated_face: :face_vomiting:

Mixing those into peopleā€™s streams of posts, every three or four posts, with only that tiny indicator that itā€™s not theirsā€¦ Thatā€™s just slimy.

This disparity, the complaint alleges, ā€œcannot be explained based upon a justification that Musk intended to retain more employees in engineering-related roles.ā€ Killingsworth estimated that Musk terminated 63 percent of female employees in engineering-related roles, compared to 48 percent of male employees in engineering-related roles.

The complaint alleges that when Musk asked employees to agree to work in the office 24/7 or else voluntarily leave their jobs, ā€œMusk would certainly have known that these policy changes and expectations would have a disproportionate impact on women, who are more often caregivers for children and other family members, and thus not able to comply with such demands.ā€

On the same day the women filed their class-action lawsuit, disabled employees and employees taking family or medical leave hit by layoffs also filed a class-action suit, represented by Liss-Riordan. Their complaint alleges that Twitter violated the Americans with Disabilities Act and the federal Family and Medical Leave Act.

The complaint estimates that Twitter laid off ā€œapproximately 60 percent of employees who were on leaveā€ at the time of the November 4 layoffs.

I am Jackā€™s complete lack of surpriseā€¦

Whatā€™s wild here is itā€™s not just ā€œHey, weā€™re going a different direction, get outā€ sort of indifference, but instead an openly hostile ā€œyou deserve no betterā€ vibe to all of this.

Such a ā€œfree speech absolutistā€.

And how on earth does one legally define ā€œoccasional slip upsā€?

In whatever way works for him. in the same way they have a clear definition of who can stay on the platform and who cannot. The whims of one megalomaniac.

This pledge is silly though. Iā€™m sure every person already signed non-disclosure agreements to begin with. I guess this is so that he can turf people for reporting on non-confidential-but-disparaging info like the bedrooms.

Oh, I understand thatā€™s his definition. The question is, what will happen when his definition runs into the legal definition. :smiley:

Maybe if he hadnā€™t fired his ENTIRE HR DEPARTMENT he could have conferred with them about how to soften the language.

Now all that seems to matter is how much abuse is he going to get away with before he sees any consequences at all.

So far the regulatory framework around employment has accomplished nothing; only the threat of advertisers spending less money has had any effect at all.

Heā€™ll keep pushing until someone with teeth and claws pushes back.

Two of the lawyers Iā€™ve been following on Twitter, Akiva Cohen and Popehat (Ken White), have announced theyā€™re moving to other locations, spurred by Muskā€™s most recent antics RE: Anthony Fauci and Yoel Roth. Itā€™s basically 1/3rd of the accounts I frequently check. Other accounts are saying theyā€™re staying for now, but also diversifying.

Fauci?

Yeah, that. Brain kicked into phonetic spelling mode.
