I feel so bad for anyone in that situation. Trapped working for Elon when he's been such a cruel rear end in a top hat to everybody.

their “argument” comes from 1) declaring that you have to choose between helping people now and helping people later and 2) assuming a degree of future suffering so great that it justifies (by (1)) delaying eliminating suffering in the present beyond any of our lifetimes and then (and this is the most important part) 3) just loving around doing whatever you wanted to do in the first place instead of helping people, because now you’ve convinced yourself it’s righteous

I feel like the answer will be "no", but do visa employees have any type of longer-term contract in connection to the visa that would prevent the employer from saying "Last week you were full remote and full time, this week you must be in the physical office 60 hours a week or your rear end is fired."?

At will employment!

looks like there is a 60 day grace period for you to transfer your visa to a new place of employment after your last day of employment. Also if you Google it the first thing it says after you know you’re losing your job is “hire a lawyer.”

I have no idea legally but he was saying "you'll be fired but you'll get severance" so it seems plausible that at 4:20 he could say "we've decided not to fire people after all so there's no need to pay severance"

per other tweets they've already tried to say "we don't have to pay you severance, you just resigned", no idea how accurate any of that is, but it's not surprising

remember how there was a bunch of handwringing about people working from home at multiple jobs/contracts simultaneously? more people need to compare that to these fuckers like ol' musky collecting compensation for the same role at multiple companies

well, pretending to come after him at least. google fired a lot of us who organized the union for obvious sham reasons and the nlrb was, you know, “looking into it very strongly” or whatever until everyone stopped thinking about it.

Highest standards of evidence if and only if it is fit into a linear regression model, preferably with an RCT. Nothing qualitative at all. Most of the field is irrelevant trivia that can sometimes support center-left policy conclusions but is not strongly committed to anything other than sophistry

it's such a gross racist idiotic way of looking at heredity too

- each of the 7 billion descendants in the 11th generation has less than 0.1% of their DNA from this original pair of ubermenschen. surely at that ratio it's effectively meaningless, right?

- unless they believe that a single drop of their brilliant genius blood is all it takes?

- or they plan for their eight billion descendants to all start loving each other at every level to keep the bloodline pure?
