The guy with the hammer, most likely. And it wouldn't hurt them to throw in all the stochastic media he was drowning in.
I’ve seen this cited a lot. What’s funny is that in San Antonio, as long as you don’t go south of downtown, you’re good. The city itself is massive: The criminals on the south side aren’t spending an hour and however much in gas to drive all the way to the north side to *maybe* find some unlocked cars. Instead they’re just causing crime in their own communities.
One of the weirder theories is that because the attackers had a history of prostitution (unsubstantiated), that his attack on Paul Pelosi at 2AM wasn’t exactly random…

Aside him from not quite grasping the difference between secured vs. unsecured debt, it is a decent breakdown.
It is interesting that Twitter's drop in quality since Elon's acquisition is already noticeable. More hate speech, more Elon bros, and for some reason the replies to Elon's tweets are always filled with crypto spam that I would have expected the spam filters to be able to catch. The third was true before he acquired it, but because of the Elon bros his tweets are much more prominent now.
Well Donald Trumps mean tweets might not be back (yet) but I haven’t seen the Blue Checks frothing at the mouth this bad in a long time when Elon tweeted this. I think you will see a concerted effort to shame any and all big advertisers into suspending ad spends, like General Motors just did. Funny how things flip flop. Trump banned, free market company doing free market things. Elon buys it and Amy Klobucher is on the republicans side wanting to do away with section 230 protections.
Meh. GM can wax poetic all it wants, but I think it’s far more likely that they don’t want to advertise on a platform that is now owned by the CEO of a competing car company.
I'd imagine Ford, Toyota, Honda, etc. are all quietly ramping down their ads on Twitter, and re-thinking how they use the platform, because it's clearly not in Elon's best interest that his competition leverage the platform to their advantage. God, I can't wait til I never hear about this asshole again.
I thought this was "senior engineers" and wondered where I missed something after the ridiculous, "print your code and let's review it" stunt. Firing the top executives during any business changing hands is almost inevitable.
He's also trying to say he fired all of them "with cause" to get out of paying their combined approximately $200 million severances.
I doubt it will drag out that long. Musk is a shit stain of a human being and thinks, much like Trump, that he can just make up words and have them be true. I would be very surprised if he gets even one of the "for cause" allegations to stick, let alone all of them, but it's almost certain that nobody wants this to drag out that long. I'm guessing this will be resolved within a year, resulting in at least some large portion of the severances being paid out in return for the execs signing a non-disclosure agreement.
Unless he can prove they lied or withheld information during the due diligence process, then he may have a case against them.
It sounds like a rather shitty way to save a chunk of the payout: "settle for pennies on the dollar, or pray you have luck in court and by then any of this money is still there." I get it, but fuck him.
People have a tough time in court when they're on the wrong side of the law, or on the wrong side of an expensive legal team. Musk is going up against a CEO's legal team on an issue of California labor law. The odds be never in his favor.
