The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

Its just Musk breaking contracts again. While being as much of a knob as he can.

The Iceland-based entrepreneur had sold his company, Ueno, a creative design agency, to Twitter in early 2021 - after founding the firm in Reykjavik in 2014.

As part of the acquisition he became a full-time employee at Twitter.

"I decided to sell for a few reasons but one of them is that I have muscular dystrophy and my body is slowly but surely failing me," he told the BBC.

"I have a few good work years left in me so this was a way to wrap up my company, and set up myself and my family for years when I won't be able to do as much."

"Companies let people go, that's within their rights," Mr Thorleifsson said. "They usually tell people about it but that's seemingly the optional part at Twitter now".

Musk is now boosting the 'J6 footage proves it was all a government stitchup' lie.

:rolleyes:

I think it shows a rather different story than what we've been lead to believe, clearly the Police seemed rather more compliant and seemingly happy to show at least that one guy around. What's the explanation there for those of us who haven't looked into it that much? I thought he'd broken in, not been given a guided tour
 
God man, I have fallen down a right rabbit hole from a Tweet posted on here.

Did y'all know that there is a big conspiracy that the Worlds Fair was a big scam?

They reckon a secret world existed in America beforehand called Tartaria.

People are hysterical.
 
The most recent firing is a guy who won an Icelandic award in 21, then person of the year in 22 for his contributions to Iceland. He also founded a company which twitter bought, and part of the deal was to pay him as a salary going forwards so he paid more tax contributions etc. The guy is a famous UI designer too, and only found out he was fired when musk tweeted a meme at him.


Elon has been a numpty again here and perhaps ought to consult with lawyers a bit more often before just jumping into this stuff publicly... this guy may well have become a bit of a slacker but it seems pretty reckless to post stuff like this as an employer:

It was just a LARP

Musk doesn't need lawyers, he knows the law better than someone with a 30 year career.;)

I'm going to guess that guy has a full email trail of his trying to get information on what he was meant to be doing. I'm also guessing he won't the only staffer who hasn't been able to get any feedback/information on their job since Musk got rid of so many people including HR and managers without seeming to know what they were doing, where they were doing it, or who they were managing and keeps doing it, so internal staff communications at Twitter are likely a wreck without updates (IIRC he shut down/refused to pay for several of the staff chat systems to reduce the risk of them letting each other know they were fired, so there isn't even that informal way of finding out).

Also by the sounds of it he is/was one of the "thinkers", you don't necessarily need to do things like type or code much to be one of the main brains behind a unit or management/consultant who is liaising between teams face to face (and when you do need to type a lot, voice typing programs have been very good for at least 10 years). Not to mention he was hired with the company knowing exactly what his condition was and likely progression as part of the buyout of his old company, so that's potentially going to be fun for Musk to try and argue in court, especially after Musk's public comments.

Have you forgotten the FEMA camps being built that were about to round up all citizens?

2010


Around the country, a conspiracy theory about the government constructing secret concentration camps is taking on new life.

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. — It looks like nothing more than a 2,500-acre military complex, but sinister plans are afoot. One day soon — if it hasn’t happened already — law-abiding U.S. citizens will be rounded up and imprisoned here by their oppressive federal government.

It’s perfectly obvious to anyone with eyes to see the traffic signs that direct FEMA trucks this way and that: This is one of the 800 or more detention camps being built by a government gone mad.

At least that’s what more and more Americans believe. A fear that the federal government will concoct a pretense for declaring martial law and confine patriotic dissidents to concentration camps — a conspiracy theory that goes back decades and was especially prevalent during the militia movement of the 1990s — is spreading as the country experiences a surge in groups on the radical right.

In the last year, FOX News personality Glenn Beck devoted airtime on three shows to the theory, saying he “wanted to debunk it” but could not. (He eventually did, but only after much criticism.) Oath Keepers, a conspiracy-minded police and military organization formed last spring, listed the 10 “Orders We Will Not Obey,” including any command to enforce martial law or herd Americans into concentration camps. And in September, William Lewis Films and Gary Franchi Productions released “Camp FEMA: American Lockdown,” a video that alleges the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency is behind the camps. Lewis is a veteran maker of conspiracy-minded videos; Franchi heads Restore the Republic, an antigovernment "Patriot" group with militia-like beliefs.

The 90-minute film opens with newsreel footage of Japanese Americans being forced into internment camps on the West Coast during World War II and a narrator declaring that after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the government “again went into open roundup mode.” He adds, “Is it possible history will repeat itself?” For the next 90 minutes, a Who’s Who of conspiracy diehards suggests that it is.

Hmm Oath Keepers again.

You think he should continue to pay a huge salary for a lad that doesn't actually do any work?

Do we have any proof he doesn't do any work? Other than a Musk tweet.

And there is a difference between wilfully not doing any work, and trying to do the last lot of work you were assigned but not having any feedback or any way to get feedback from those who are meant to be assigning the work to you and updating you on what you're doing. I'm going to guess that even in the US if/when it goes to court a court will look at the contract signed and evidence that the employee was trying to find out what they were meant to be doing but not getting any feedback/information and weigh that against any claim that they were not in fact doing any work.
 
Seems like it wasn't a very tight contract, maybe Jack Dorsey can employ him to drink coffee
you're funny, you think Musk cares about contracts which is highly unlikely given his blatant disregard for employment law and all the other contracts he's ignored since taking over twitter, like the contracts that state rent has to be paid, or the contracts that state the lawyers have to be paid, or the contracts of the other employees who are now taking him to court.

You are right he had broken in. After they beat many police standing guard outside the building and smashing windows. They then went on to rampage through the building looking for democrates to hang and beat.

Seriously dont pretend all of a sudden you didnt see any of it. You are doing this because the man that gives out horses to try to get sexy times is pushing it.

It seems like the lad made clear he doesn't really do anything. His self-proclaimed credentials were pathetic - something I'd expect an analyst in my team to make up.

It sounds like he was in a senior position to (a founder of a design agency Twitter acquired). Those employees don't go and seek assignment - they propose ideas and drive outcomes. He even said once he had been locked out he waited 9 days to ask anyone :cry: :cry:
