I still think it's inadvisable for CEO's to get involved in spats like this online. The Icelandic guy asked about his status and a simple HR will be in touch should have been sufficient at that point.

But then that'd be so boring and like every other company in the world. And where would Roar post? There is hardly any race threads on page 1 :(
 
To be fair to the Icelandic bloke he was picking out his Caribbean retirement home and now he'll have to settle for the Canaries, he's had a rough old day
 
I think it's pretty clear at this point that Musk is a massive *******. But that's how people get that rich. Lying, bullying and screwing over others. It's not their own work.

This guy was pretty loaded so there isn't much sympathy, but how many regular employees got canned without being told? With legal protections which Musk as simply ignored.

Do you guys remember how it used to be in the trump thread during his presidency.

You have subject x. Never once spoken about by any trumps fans. Trump sends a tweet. Now the trump fans speak as though the crazy thing trump just tweeted is fact, they've known all along, all come rushing to talk about subject x while everyone is there trying to reason with them imbeciles.

Then the next week trump tweets about subject y and off we go again. Rinse and repeat for 4 years.

My point being, is that Elon now seems to be the new trump for them.

Exact same response from the users. Elon tweets some nonsense. Now everyone has to argue about it. A week later those Elon simps will give up as too many facts are getting in the way, but off we go again with a new thing Elon has tweeted and rinse and repeat.

It really feels now that the clock is ticking for Elon and his position in tesla. I'd love the board to tweet Elon and say "what have you been doing, pics or it didn't happen. How much code have you written, then do a laughing emoji"

It's possibly going to be more the reverse.

As one lawyer has put it "Congratulations to Musk's lawyers on their new boats", another pointed out that the way Musk has replied is exactly what you'd want for breach of contract.

It's funny how some people seem to think that someone wanting what a contract legally required to be honoured is asking too much.

The fact Elon even needs a list of people he really shouldn't fire, suggests that yes, he doesn't know this

............now read that back to yourself.

"The fact he has a list of people not to fire"

So yes, he does know, because he had a list of "people not to fire" commissioned...

I am not at all red pill but some of you guys are just LOL in your hatred for Elon, as much as Roar is LOL for his unrelenting love for Elon.

He had a list telling him people not to fire, but he fires them anyway, because Elon knows best (which is actually not best hence the list of "DO NOT FIRE")

And he is now on every major media outlet driving thousands of clicks and engagement. I mean, what else is Twitter if it isn't clicks and engagement?

I think it shows a rather different story than what we've been lead to believe

No it doesn't. It shows one guy randomly following a couple of cops as he wanders through the Capitol building. Even if this was enough to exonerate this one guy (and it's not) it doesn't change the many hours of footage showing rioters violently attacking police, breaking windows, forcing doors, and committing acts of vandalism, etc.

There is not a single second in that video which shows a different story than what we've been led to believe by the rest of the video footage. Saying 'I saw one guy not doing anything violent in this brief snippet of video, therefore the entire narrative about a Capitol riot is false' is the same as saying 'I saw one BLM supporter standing peacefully at a protest, therefore there were no BLM riots and they didn't cause billions of dollars worth of damage.'

Roar87 said:
clearly the Police seemed rather more compliant and seemingly happy to show at least that one guy around.
Click to expand...

No. They weren't showing him around, they were doing what other cops were doing: responding calmly to rioters who had entered but were not causing any trouble, while remaining close in case the situation changed. We already knew this from earlier footage. There are no grand revelations in this video.

What's the explanation there for those of us who haven't looked into it that much?

See above.

Roar87 said:
I thought he'd broken in

He did. When interviewed before his arrest, Angeli claimed he walked through an open door. But video footage showed him entering through a broken window. That lie did not go down well at his trial, where he ended up pleading guilty, throwing Trump under the bus, and offering to testify against him at his second impeachment trial.

He wasn't, and this video doesn't show that.

'Senate Republicans condemn Tucker Carlson portrayal of Jan. 6. attack.'

Yeah but who is going to want to advertise and get exposure for all those clicks and engagement when the owner is literally shaming a disabled person infront of millions, I don't see how this 8d chess play from Elon gets Twitter making money

Dunno, I guess the red pillers may have deep pockets?
