Even if the "he told HR he couldn't type" bit is true, this man knows that speech to text is a real thing, right?

Actually, he genuinely might not.

More specifically, speech to text would be useful for a high-level manager and design guy who is running a team to send emails and write up documents, but not for a coder who needs to use a lot of special characters.

So once Elon starts making huge cuts, all of a sudden this guy who was in charge of a team is expected to start coding again.

At the end of the day you're appealing to a piece of shits sense of fair play, who takes any courtesy or emotion as an opening for attack.

Assume that's a well known thing across the media and pointing it out doesn't matter

"This exposes the double standard in..." And?

Assume politicians don't care about being shown up for lying.

Assume all these things we already know as fact, and it makes no difference pointing out.

What is the next tactic.

I’m guessing Musk will hope that either this guy dies or Twitter dies before he has to pay out the severance. Will likely pay more to outside counsel to gently caress with the guy than just paying him.

Although who knows what the laws are like in Iceland. There’s only like 1000 people on that island so maybe the guy can ask his neighbor the President or King Judge or whatever to haul Twitter into Reykjavik court and own him quickly.
Would it even get heard in Iceland though? Would it not depend on where the jurisdiction of the contract lies, rather than where the contractor happens to be resident?

Musk infamously got away with calling that British bloke "pedo guy" (claiming it was common SA parlance lol) and that went through the US courts, not UK.

The guy has had enough incidences where courts & juries have sided with him in defiance of logic and reason to feel emboldened enough to behave the way he does. I want to be able to laugh at how big a hole he keeps on digging with his tweets, but the sad reality is that the Icelandic guy probably won't get anywhere with his lawsuit, should it happen, he'll just be added to the pile of people who have been royally hosed over with no consequence by Musk.

I would echo the point that if there's anythiing worse than his behaviour - and that's saying something - it's the legion of stans who are just as eager to dogpile on people they personally have no issue with, until Elon did. Twitter really just needs to die for the good of humanity.

I mean, it sucks that this guy got ratfucked and is going to get harassed by Elon's bootlickers, but at least it sounds like he's got the means and motive to actually carry a lawsuit to term. He makes a worse enemy for Elon than the staffers who were not on a "do not fire" list and cannot afford to wait out all his stalling tactics.

Best case scenario for this guy is in a year or two after twitter goes under he gets his money as a I assume secured creditor since the company was bought by twitter. I don't see him getting paid otherwise Elon is such a spiteful rear end in a top hat and he is from Iceland a tiny country. Has anyone gotten paid their severance yet? I haven't hears anything about that.
