The challenge thing is ridiculous and embarrassing of course but I find the "mum said no" part to be the most humanising news about Musk for months or years now
Why ? None of it is normal human behavior

Most people grow out the "you're not the boss of me" phase in their late teens and start appreciating their parents again

Most people I know have good relations with their parents and never had a schoolyard fight stopped by their mom since they are at least 30. None of that is normal.

Musk is a liar and a bastard, what a surprise.
It's a class action lawsuit, so the employees may recoup part of what they are owed, crossing fingers for them.

For the hell of me I don't understand how this man is not facing repercussions for forcing his employees to bypass covid restrictions to begin with. He has been known to have been a boss from hell and a danger for humanity for a long time, but maybe as a society we should put the red line at "doing things that are flagrantly illegal"

Maybe this is the part of his life story where he has to finally face the consequences of his actions.

The character development arc of this anime is long overdue, after all

It'll probably be a bankrupt Twitter that will pay the employees 1% of what they're owed as the company's last remaining assets are sold off.

Musk ain't paying a dime.

Haha, no.
Even in the absolute best case scenario where he has to pay the entire severance and a few extra hundred million just because out of his own pocket (and like Euchre I would be surprised if he had to pay even a single dime) its less then half a percent of his net worth.

This whole twitter thing *is* his character development arc where its revealed that he was both a generically-rich-person-evil and incompetent the entire time.

My word people are halfwits sometimes. What has Musk ever given of himself for humanity?

Oh gawd, that second image made me ashamed of my own transhumanism and futurist fantasies. Can't we invent a horrifying dystopia brave new world without the techbro misogyny??  :'(

And WTF is with American society and making deities/graven idols out of CEOs? I know it's not exactly a new phenomena, but I feel like after Tim Cook it started to become more prevalent. You can appreciate someone without kowtowing to them. It's like some people just aren't happy unless they're deifying something.

At least part of it seems to be because the folks they're deifying don't actually have much or anything in the way of positive qualities. When you don't have a virtue to point to, all you have left is godhood :P
