cokemaster:

Refusing to pay vendors or property owners for no valid reason is just poor form. I feel for the smaller vendors where this could have direct flow on effects for their operations.

from https://www.huffpost.com/entry/twitter-elon-musk-severance_n_6399046fe4b0c2814647e679:
But the Times reported that Twitter leaders have discussed how the company could deny the payments it had agreed to and then just wait for lawsuits from the stiffed ex-workers

I missed this post but this is sickening.
You laid-off half of your workforce. You had to offer x months of pay to comply with federal and state laws... and you are screwing over your workforce by contemplating forcing them to take legal action to get whats owed to them? Sick sick sick

(by you, I mean Musk, not @ezbee :P )

Does this sound familiar?

DJT play book anyone?

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Washington Post: Monkey deaths at Musk’s brain-implant firm stir calls for FDA bans

...The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine wants the Food and Drug Administration to discipline Neuralink over charges that it violated “good laboratory practice” — a standard set of regulations that govern biological tests and data reporting — during invasive and gruesome tests on monkeys, sheep and pigs. It also requested that the FDA bar Neuralink from conducting additional animal trials.

...“When you submit your paperwork to FDA, you can’t start following good laboratory practices at that time. You need to have been following them for quite a while,” said Ryan Merkley, the Physicians Committee’s director of research advocacy. “And clearly, from our perspective based on public records and news reports, it’s hard for us to believe that Neuralink had been following good laboratory practices.”
...
This article makes for gruesome reading, so I won't post the details about the botched surgery here.
...
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Office of Inspector General has reportedly launched an animal-cruelty investigation into Neuralink, stemming from employee accusations that pressure from Musk to hastily conduct experiments led to barbaric veterinary surgeries and the killing of roughly 1,500 animals involved in tests since 2018.

So when's it going to happen? Will he act as quickly as he did to reinstate Trump's account?

It's an interesting one...I think we've collectively called his bluff.

He was probably expecting an overwhelming majority in his favour.

And he's probably not sure what to do now, even though he said he would abide by the outcome. As he's so thin-skinned he's probably totally at a loss what to do - he thought everyone loved him and what he was doing with Twitter! Sadly, no.

Batman:he shouldn't have done the poll

Poll = OK to do

However, publicly stating that he will abide by it - is stupid!

I predict he will “bot check” the result and declare it invalid.

Or possibly he is sick of the heat being generated and will step down as CEO, but as the majority shareholder will still pull the strings.

@Handsomedan Am I correct in assuming you are an active Twitter user so the “we” in your statement above is because you voted? It’s just that a lot of the most vociferous anti-Musk & Twitter commentary seems to come from people who don’t even use the platform.

I am a Twitter user and I did vote for him to do one.

I don't tweet a lot, but as it's one of the platforms that a lot of noise is generated on, it's one that I look at daily.
