Sorry, another news from this asshole, but this is too much assholery to don’t be shared
Despite him being a shitty boss that fired employees that criticized him on twitter, he promised an “unlimited” legal defense fund to fight against employers that fired employees because of something they wrote on Twitter.
Under his tweet a lot of “verified” (=right wing) accounts plauded this and asked to fight employers who fired employees for having written something homophobic
They aren’t ‘Tweets’ anymore. They are Xcretes.
Except when they’re used in court as evidence, then they’re called “xzibits”

I’d be inclined to think he got dumped because of these levels of pathologic behaviour- if this is what we see in public, I can only imagine the things that happened in private between those two.
His first wife publicly said that she felt a prisoner in her house, he’s a psychopath
Look he’s clearly trying to control as much of the world as possible. Controlling his wife completely is guaranteed
He’s a giant garbage person.
It’s just kind of pitiful to hear stuff like this about him. All of his actions just reek of desperation of wanting to be respected and liked. He’s so controlling because it seems he’s so insecure.
He likes to pretend that he’s some Roman emperor god amongst mortals and we are all his playthings. If he were alive in Roman times who knows, he might have been a solid Nero but this is modern times. I suspect if we could see the tweets that historical figures would write we would have a hugely different perspective on them. Many people we hold in high regard were equal levels of dickhead. Unfortunately for him we got to see who he really is and you can’t rehab that image. All he had to do was shut the fuck up and play with his rockets. Instead he will only be remembered as a snowflake right wing troll. Nothing more.

yeah, could we maybe not frame it as “trans people hurt him so he’s lashing out” type nonsense?
Not only is it false (he was like this long before that, you just had to be paying attention), but it also provides fuel to transphobes, who already make up enough, but we don’t need to hand them more.It’s not that “trans people hurt him”, it’s that he got dumped for being a dickweed and then blamed it jealously on a trans person. Also, his daughter who disowned him and the fact that he explicitly had all 10 of his kids with IVF so he could choose that they be born male says a lot.

I didn’t think you intended any malice, it’s just the way we frame things is important and our words have impact, which is why I pointed it out.
All I intended was to mock Musk for being the stereotypical macho asshole who can’t accept the end of a relationship with dignity.
next time you can just say that, it’s accurate and places the blame where it belongs!
Still he can go fuck himself.
absolutely, I’m in no way trying to defend him here, it’s just about trying to focus on the right thing and not play in to already damaging stereotypes (the “gay/rans panic” defence is where this particular one ends up).
fired employees that criticized him on twitter
I hope one of those employees sues him. And asks him publicly to pay their legal fees.
I am surprised that nobody has sued the former president for those paying out when he said the same thing.
He’s fishing for fascists.
Dude was forced to buy Twitter because he couldn’t stop his big mouth. Seems he hasn’t learned. Lmao.
We make our employees sign a form when they’re hired stating that they will not mention our company or any of its employees on social media in a negative way. It’s standard practice. Any company big enough to have its own lawyer(s), they will advise them to do that because it can help prevent serious legal Issues.

The NLRB ruled that non-disparagement clauses are not enforceable
https://www.axios.com/2023/03/27/labor-board-says-non-disparagement-clauses-are-unlawful
It’s a clear violation of the first amendment… Also, referring to the company you work for as “we” while talking about firing another employee is cringe as fuck.
Yeah idk man, I would not call it “a clear violation” based on your link. This is basically the NLRB’s opinion and they expect to be challenged on it.
Also I think we need to delineate those folks who are genuinely facing retaliation for discuss working conditions, and those who want Elon to help them sue because they got fired for saying the N slur on Twitter or other troll bullshit
Even if I hadn’t agreed to this it would be a no brainer. If you found your friend talking shit about you they wouldn’t be your friend anymore, why would an employer react any different?
I don’t know what kind of friends you have, but your employer is not your friend, nor your family.
They are there to exploit your labour for profit, and will only ever defend themselves, never you.(this isn’t to say I agree with musk or anything, fuck him and anything he does, and fuck the bigots, they deserve consequences to their actions, but the idea that anyone would defend their boss like they would defend a friend makes me sad and angry and massively frustrated. Those contracts Karlos mentioned are 100% ass covering by a company that is more concerned with its reputation than it is with its employees, which when you consider we live in capitalism is to be expected, but it still seems to escape so so many people - 99% of employers don’t give two shits about you, including, and maybe especially, those who are really good at convincing you that they value “loyalty”)
I didn’t say I think I’m friends with my company but to expect consequences when you get caught talking shit.
expect consequences when you get caught talking shit.
Sure, to a point.
Ever wonder why they never fire the bigot before they go public? The bigots I’ve met in life have really sucked at keeping their mask on, do you really think their employers (and fellow employees) were oblivious? Or was it only when there was publicity involved and the company feared for their own reputation, rather than the safety of their other employees, that they do something about it?
Yet if you tweet “my boss sucks”, it probably won’t go viral or get any publicity, but your employer can just as easily fire you for “talking shit” that literally didn’t cause harm to anyone.You specified:
If you found your friend talking shit about you
Meaning if the company found you talking shit about it, and the fact that you think your employer can and should have that level of control over your thoughts and actions is actually terrifying.
If I find out my company is a piece of shit I’m leaving, why shouldn’t they be allowed to end the arrangement?
im just a bystander to this conversation but it really seems like you saw all those words in that comment and treated them like a fart in the wind, and then just wrote whatever you felt like.
If I find out my company is a piece of shit I’m leaving
that’s a really privileged position to be in that billions of others don’t have
(don’t feel the need to add any more, @viq has it more than covered! 👍)
If one of my coworkers is making up shit on social media because they are angry about being expected to do their job, and as a result we lose contacts and have to fire a bunch of people, yeah I think that person should 100% get fired. Hyperbole cuts both ways.
Hyperbole cuts both ways.
you’re the only one talking about people making up shit
also your language (" because they are angry about being expected to do their job") gives away your agenda instantly and shows just how out of touch and/or brainwashed by corporate media you are.Talk about bad faith lmfao…
I said it was hyperbole. What part of that comparison are you missing?
Does that extend to employer review websites like GlassDoor?
Ive defended these musk posts in the past, but sorry… This story has nothing at all to do with technology.
Be liberal with your filters. I for one, am now filtering this, I’m tired of musk showing up in my feed.
how?
Does Trump’s “Will be wild!” tweet count? He got impeached and now has 4 felony counts in relation to that one… I’m sure he’d LOVE to stick someone else with the bill for it…
What will people do? Sue him to provide the promised legal funds they need to sue their employers?
Musk fighting at-will employment now. How socialist of him. /s

Don’t like the news? Don’t click on it.
This is entirely different from ranting about Obama under a recipe for peach cobbler
Yeah, this has nothing to do with technology. It’s a useless article anyway, because it doesn’t seem to actually say what his tweet said…
It’s got one of those hot links to his tweet.
Lauded or applauded. Plauded is wordn’t.
Edit: I am rightn’t.
It is, in fact, a word:
Shiet
Ah ok it was a similar word translated from my language
Turns out I’m wrong. Plauded is a perfectly valid short form of applauded.
Not sure how this relate to “Technology”.
Under his tweet a lot of “verified” (=right wing) accounts plauded this and asked to fight employers who fired employees for having written something homophobic
Any examples of that?
But that will require for me to go on that cesspool again…
Follow the link, there’s a link to musk Xcrement, under that all the Blue subscribers they’re talking about a transphobe fired by Ubisoft, and then another one
