He’s such a cnut.
Yup, an utter rat.
You ignore roseguy?
You can click the link to the actual tweets from that one tbf
So, new strategy to avoid paying severance.
That's despicable behaviour.
It takes a proper cnut to be that much is a cnut to someone on a public forum
He’s even worse than the caricature libertarian edge lord tech bros you get on American TV that when you’re watching you think are way to over the top trying to portray the evil bad guy.
A bit like Trump, the one saving grace in all this is that you know that deep down despite everything he has he is miserable as sin.
I feel like cnut isn't strong enough word for what an evil cretin he is.
Christ. We rightfully get infractions for wishing injuries on players, not sure if it applies to non-players like Musk. If so, i feel like he should be an exception. He deserves to suffer from some debilitating disease. What a true scumbag.
The comments are full of awful takes as expected. It's weird how people choose to defend people like Musk all the time.
Concerning, Looking into it.

Can we change the thread title to Elon Musk | Owned on Twitter ?
I'll never understand the sweaty nerds defending Elon in the replies.
It’s unfathomable. You can understand fans going in to bat for music stars, actors or athletes. They feel connected to people who have moved them, at an emotional level. What the feck has a joyless prick like Musk ever done for any of his online stans?
Turns out this guy has just absolutely mugged Elon off as the sacking earns him a huge payout for selling his company to Twitter.
Now Musk's bitching even more about it as he realised what just happened

Surely, M(oron)usk is walking into a lawsuit by publicly responding to him?
He’s an incel icon. They’ve attached their personality to him so take it personally when he’s shown to be a moron.
Amazing.

I really hope it's true. It would be such a fitting punchline to the story
It seems to be completely true considering Musk himself has been stupid enough to confirm itI really hope it's true. It would be such a fitting punchline to the story
100 million is a guess though, no idea how reasonable.It seems to be completely true considering Musk himself has been stupid enough to confirm it

My mate in SF and just text me from the Morgan Stanley conference Musk is speaking at.
Says he rambling about free speech and he sounds like he hasn't slept in a week.
Given his propensity for cocaine, this isn't surprising.

Not sure how "typical" that formula is. If it's IP you are buying you could get into billions range for a company with 20 people kick ass R&D team. Or in the case of WhatsApp, the user base is what counted and the team was comically small (iirc)
Bit outdated by now, but this was pretty funny.
The actual figure is moot though, the guy himself confirmed the situation and one of the world's richest people called it a "big payout".
Whatever way you look at it, he just got absolutely publicly outsmarted.
Also, per Twitter so who knows if real, the guy stucutred the buyout this way (salary instead of lump sum) in order to maximize his tax burden.
Possibly, but wanted to point that since those guesses are often quoted further and take a life of their own.
It's a nitpick, but I also would never call that outsmarting. The employee seemingly did everything he could to deal with this privately and the only reason it got public is because Elon had an insane need to publicly shame him while telling him he's fired. It's more of a "man punches himself in the face and blames radical left for the nose pain".
They clearly wasn't going to tell this man he was fired because he was owed a "big" payout if he was, so after waiting a while he went public on twitter to goad the ego of Musk and get fired by the man himself. Musk clearly had no idea what was happening at first and then bit. Musk confirmed it himself what happened, hours after the fact and too late to backtrack (even though he deleted a few tweets).
I'm not sure what you would call being outsmarted, but I'd wager you'd be in the minority on that one.
That is just awesome.
This has been so annoying to see
No doubt bots are going after both the hard r & the soft a pronunciations of the word. Why discriminate?
Yep I have to say that isn't what I expected when I ventured in. Absolute weirdos
