If we're talking realism then the "white nationalism" and "racism and xenophobia" categories are done wrong. There shouldn't be a "none" option for them; they should both start at "some."

Be careful for what you wish for.

Kind of, if it fail hard enough he will stay rich, but lose control of all his entreprise.

Maybe he will finally take care of his thousands kids if it happens.

quick edit: I know he wont but I still wish it happens, for the sake of his kids.

TBH, I could absolutely see Elon go the Kim Dotcom route, but his obsessive narcissism and desire to always be in the spotlight will prevent us from seeing him that size until 5-10 years from now.

Also, if he gets covid enough times then 5-10 years from now he'll be dead of a stroke or something else, so I guess no worries.

Thing is, these rich executives are not going to take these firings (and most importantly; not getting their golden parachutes) laying down; they are going to sue the ever-loving poo poo out of him and it's going to be amazing to watch.

And if he really lays off 75% of the workforce tomorrow, there's a potential for him violating California's WATCH act in the process.

All of this is beyond my wildest dreams of entertainment when the idiot announced he was buying the company.

"For cause" abuse to deny severance pay and benefits is a workers rights issue. All those people suck but the concept of needing a real cause to fire someone should be defended.

I don't disagree with that, at all. I have no love for the sea of useless c-suite executives and middle managers that infect all of the world not the various bullshit but legally bound contracts they sign as terms of their employment. I wouldn't piss on any of them if they were on fire.

But there is no way these parties are not going to loving bone Elon for this.

To be fair we do have good evidence of gross incompetence by those executives: they sold the company to Elon Musk

edit: would said lawsuits be against Twitter the corporation or Musk? Who has to foot the legal bills?

edit 2: i hope it's him and that he loses way more money than if he'd just let them collect. but i also hope they comically slip on a banana peel and slide into a dump truck just as it is crushing its trash on their way out

They got their shareholders a massive payday doing so, no that was a win for the C suite.

They are gonna sue and he's gonna get raked over the coals again like he did in being forced to buy Twitter.
