Even an entry level employee knows not to question someone's disability. This guy is just not smart.


You’d also think that any CEO would know that you don’t use private medical information from an employee’s confidential HR file to slander them in public, and use said medical condition as specific public justification for your decision to fire them.

This is what happens when you are in a bubble. Everyone around you all day everyday looks to cover for your mistakes, say yes to all your needs, etc.
 
Okay...that Elon story runs a level deeper than was known at the time.

So dude mentions in his posts that Twitter bought his company a bunch of years back and that he's worked for Twitter ever since.. What wasn't mentioned was that in his contract with Twitter, he had a big ass termination clause written in so they couldn't just push him out the door.

So Elon's quick pivot probably wasn't due to finding out that the guy was actually disabled, etc. The quick pivot was when legal gave him a shout and said "hey, you know that guy you just fired on twitter? Yeah...well...listen....you owe him 100 fucking million dollars now according to the contract he has with your company from when it bought his company years ago"

100 million.

lol "he's considering staying at twitter" actually means "he's conferring with a legal team right now to see if they can get enough of that money out of me after I drag it out as long as possible through the courts to make the whole thing worth it."
 
It's almost as if twitter's main design flaw is allowing people to make very rash, very public emotional responses to things that should be left private.
 
Everything is great!

No one knows who’s next for the chop. Managers were recently told to provide a list of people who ought to be promoted, says one former staff member still in touch with some who remain working. Little did they realise they were signing their own death warrant: many of those managers were subsequently fired and replaced by those they’d recommended, as part of a cost-cutting drive.

Whether the platform will even stay online is in part out of Twitter’s hands: it is reportedly in $70m of debt to Amazon for cloud hosting services it has not yet paid. Amazon so far has used its own advertising spend on Twitter as a bargaining chip designed to make sure the company pays its bills. But that could change.
...
Those who do work there are also increasingly less frequently actually Twitter employees. Staff at the social media platform grouse that they’re asked to take orders from workers who have been dragooned into Twitter’s ranks from Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk’s other companies. “It’s a disaster,” says one former employee. “It looks like the owner is just throwing people into positions hoping they work out.” Another called the arrivals from Musk’s other companies “clueless” about how to run a social media platform.
 
I've been using TSLA puts as my personal ATM. Got rid of most at the close today....but I may have left coin on the table as more tankage is happening after hours
