Any ex-Tesla employees willing to take up an offer? 😜
He’ll never actually do it. He simply wants to encourage more people to say outrageous things so engagement levels increase as everyone does dumb shit.
Good luck to anyone who falls for this.
When I look at the current state of the internet, I pine for the simpler days of the nineties when a/s/l and stormfront.org look downright warm and fuzzy in comparison. That was just weird individuals being weird. Now it’s institutionalized across the entire Internet.
I suspect he may have read this article and taken it to heart:
“They need us. We don’t need them:” The fall of Twitter is making the trolls and grifters desperate
lol sure he will. He won’t even pay rent.
Remember that time he offered to solve world hunger but then didn’t because “nah” basically?
They didn’t come up with a plan and when he asked they were like 🤷♂️
Aid spokesman engaged hyperbole drive and tweeted “if a billionaire like @musk gave us $40bn we could solve world hunger”
Musk replied “ok i’m listening, show me how you can solve it, if it sounds real I’ll write the cheque”
Aid spokesman (back pedalling) “well not solve as such, but definitely make better”
Musk “whatevs then”
I mean he does say so much actual stupid shit, why do you guys keep making shit up ?
Edit to add not verbatim I can’t be arsed to go find the tweets now he’s fucked twitter
bro linked a cnn article
Cool. Good article - which shows exactly what I said.
Solve is not the same as reduce/improve/alleviate.
As Musk knew full well when he tweeted it. No one has a solution for it, the best you can do is alleviate it for a bit.
Is he being a pedantic dick ? Yes. Did the original tweeter provide a plan to solve world hunger. No.
He provided a plan to reduce world hunger for a time. It’s not a solution, it’s a reduction in misery which I’d be very happy if Musk paid for. But it’s not making world hunger entirely go away even short term let alone long term.
No, but we can trust him this time. All those other lies were completely unrelated. /s
It’s possible. He literally burnt an extra 150 million dollars by bumping his offer for twitter to 54.20 just to make it a stupid 420 meme. It’s not like he doesn’t have the money to pay those bills.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Elon Musk has said his X social media platform will pay the legal bills and sue on the behalf of people who have been treated “unfairly” by employers because of posting or liking something on the site formerly known as Twitter.
“If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill,” Musk said in a post on X late on Saturday, adding that there will be no limits to funding the bills.
“And we won’t just sue, it will be extremely loud and we will go after the boards of directors of the companies too,” Musk said later in response to a post about nothing changing behavior in the US faster than a threat of legal action.
The figures came as the company is going through organizational changes and is looking to boost falling advertising revenue.
After 17 years with an iconic blue bird logo that came to symbolize the broadcasting of ideas to the world, Musk renamed Twitter as X and unveiled a new logo in July, marking a focus on building an “everything app”.
Earlier in July, the billionaire whose other companies include SpaceX and Tesla had said that the social media platform’s cashflow remains negative because of a nearly 50% drop in advertising revenue and a heavy debt load.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Didn’t he fire one of the twitter engineers because he corrected him on a Twitter thread?
he won’t even pay his rent or his own legal bills… he stiffs his own employees on severance packages. he’s lying if he promises anything.
I think he is sorely underestimating how many people are going to contact him about this offer. lol
He’s not going to pay them shit. He didn’t pay his cloud bills or office rent.
When are these landlords and services going to start shutting him down? My popcorn is getting stale over here.
When you have money you can behave like you don’t and get away with it for a long time.
Also how many lawyers.
He’s not offering it to former employees, but they should absolutely go for it very very publicly. Musk is fishing for money from Trump and Kanye, it’s probably some kind of laundering scheme.
Musk is fishing for money from Trump
Trump is very obviously not coming back to Twitter, doesn’t have an employer, and they’re (supposedly) paying for the service, not charging for it, so I’m not show how that theory pans out.
He will have to sue HIMSELF! diabolical!
He doesn’t even pay his own bills. What makes people believe he’ll actually pay theirs? He may pay one person’s bill at first to get a flurry of news attention, but he’ll definitely leave everyone else out to rot.
A Musk (or Trump) Never pays his debts.
Does this sub post anything other than Elon Musk bullshit?!
I find it fascinating to watch overall, but yeah how billionaires decide to administer their website isn’t really technology. Categorizing it as such feels like a consequence of a decision some boomer made back in the 90s to administer their newspaper that got adopted by default as the method websites are administered (which still isn’t technology).
Is it the same guy who barely can afford to pay the servers and owes wherever he looks?
If any right-wing nutjob is reading this: Don’t count on him actually paying something for you.
If any right-wing nutjob is reading this: You should count on him actually paying for you. Go wild! But make sure to use your public profile so people don’t think you’re a bot!
Two fantasies - one, that anybody’s been persecuted for posting on what was the most popular communication tool in the world, and two, that a narcissist ignoring his own bills will ever cover yours.
People don’t get fired for where they post.
People get fired for what they post.
Can’t Musk posts just go to EnoughMuskSpam?
LOL
Imagine Elon Musk actually fucking PAYING HIS DEBTS
YEAH PAL PULL THE OTHER ONE
Will he be paying his own bills ? Think quite a few are overdrawn
