Ha ha!
And it's not a matter of whether he can afford it and not just a matter of principle.
It's a matter of turning Twitter into an economically viable enterprise.
GO ELON....(for this)!!
He can afford to go to court over a whim, but it is not certain how the court will decide.
Those who corporate climb to the C level are always very good at covering their asses and if I were a betting man I’d say Elon will lose.
If they knew that the *real* subscription base was inflated during negotiations that would be a firing offense.
Whether he wins this fight or not is immaterial. Those people are counting on that money. Musk can tie it up for years while litigation goes on. And they know it.
They’ll offer to settle for a small fraction. Musk will give them some “go away” money and this will be over.
L
Anyone see three lawsuits on the way?
Musk might also have a mass firing on Monday.
A big chunk of Twitter stock is scheduled to vest for thousands of employees on Tuesday.
One thing about Elon........he’s never boring 😏
He tossed a grenade into their laps.
Now they can sue Twitter but then there is discovery where they will be under oath to answer questions.
If they don’t sue they are in a round about way admitting they were less then honest running the company.
If they do sue they may face criminal charges.
A rock and a hard place comes to mind.
Man this is rich... Almost physically arousing in a way!!
“per the NYT”
But no actual link to the NYT
Ha ha!
Twitter may have cost $44B, but the entertainment value with Musk at the helm is priceless.
Non-aggression pact. He’s got them dead to rights on fraud I would think, and a bunch of SEC violations.
They leave poorly and quietly and get taken in by their globalist masters, and he won’t pants them in public.
Did anyone notice that Donald Trump responded to Elon Musk on same Twitter thread, thanking him?
This is to get them to settle for less I bet.
This is what happens when you have sh&t for comments in your git commits.
good ... he can bleed them dry while they fight in court for decades ... and then of course, there’s the issue of discovery that will work against them ...
Way too much speculation right now. If the story is true, it will depend on what the “cause” is/was and what their contracts were.
If the cause is based on criminal acts (civil rights violations (as in first amendment), fraud, theft or a host of other examples), then he could very well prevail in court . . .
Nice, take away the Golden parachute and splat.
These former execs were pure Leftist evil. It explains alot as to why the Left would be so upset about what most people would be celebrating, free speech. Just like the Left took free speech off the liberal campuses. They can’t win an argument, so they eliminate that possibility.
