Moments like this always remind me of this classic.

It is abundantly clear this man is a lot dumber than people thought.

CEOs: “hmm Elon is running Twitter great with a small percentage of the engineers. It’s going well… we should consider…”

On Blind:

[Ryan Mac 🙃 @RMac18]

Twitter is facing 1,986 demands for arbitration from former employees, according to a letter posted by a law firm representing some of those workers.

97% of those demands include claims for breach of contract.

762 demands also allege discrimination.

@joshualkrose @igb Is that a pun?

[Ryan Mac 🙃 @RMac18]

Six former Twitter execs and longtime employees sued Twitter and Elon Musk in US district court in Delaware on Tues, alleging they violated severance agreements. The lawsuit seems to corroborate much of our & others' reporting about the co not paying bills

AWS would like a word.

@richburroughs Honestly, the fact that it has lasted as long as it has despite obvious sudden neglect is a testament to their engineering skills.

@kdspaul @ZoeSchiffer @shiringhaffary Adding this to the list of “new” features that already existed.

[Tom Coates @tomcoates]

Great summary of the current financial situation at Twitter and the likely scenarios going forward - most likely bankruptcy within 6-12 months fueled by either employee lawsuits or regulatory fines. This seems spot on to me. https://t.co/dpbM1JFBuU

@Zeke_Cao @arrdem The tale of the contract that should never have been signed. I wish I had succeeded in killing CRS sooner.

I’ve been wondering when this would bubble up again.

Throwing "idempotent" into all my documentation and watching people bow to my unyielding technical acumen.

@CubicleApril @ZoeSchiffer That’s a lot of channels for their bot to sift through to find anti Elon commentary.

@YishengJiang @Zeke_Cao Your comment is silly once the entire company can’t fit in your line of sight. This is why Slack exists but you have to pay the bill.
