minus-squarescarabic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up29·1 year agoNo tears shed here. The people who built Twitter got a nice payout when they absolutely robbed Elon Musk in that deal. Anyone who chose to stay on the Elon train after his first weeks at the helm gets no sympathy from me.
minus-squaremog77a@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·1 year agoFacts. Elon tried so hard to back down from that deal. I’m not sure why it took actually signing that deal to realize he had been hosed. If I was an executive at twitter, I would have absolutely done everything possible to get Elon to pay that $44 billion.

minus-squareHonytawk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoPretty sure they were held hostage by the US government policy of getting deported if they lose their job. Xitter was just a vessel on which that was presented.
minus-squareodelik@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoThe only people there that get sympathy from me are the people trapped there on work visas if they want to legally remain in the USA. The rest are either shit workers that can’t make the cut elsewhere, or bought into the Elon hype and are a lost cause.
