If you travel a bit, as i do, and meet the variety of people out there....then you really can see that these people we see and hear every day are all outliers, normal people believe normal things, and I think they are craving normal leadership.....

Twitter was already planning on massive layoffs, even if Musk didn't buy the company. Reports were 25% of their workforce was being laid off. Musk may have accelerated that process, and he may have gone a bit further than Twitter was going to do, but they were already preparing and planning on massive layoffs.

The WARN Act requires that an employer with more than 100 employees must provide 60 days’ advanced written notice prior to a mass layoff “affecting 50 or more employees at a single site of employment.” “Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, has made clear that he believes complying with federal labor laws is ‘trivial,’” Attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan, who filed the lawsuit, said in a statement to CNN. “We have filed this federal complaint to ensure that Twitter be held accountable to our laws and to prevent Twitter employees from unknowingly signing away their rights.” Now, he does have a lot of lawyers and money, so we'll have to see if this actually has teeth or not.

dogcows 1,029 Posted November 4, 2022 Musk has a great sense of humor: Hahaha cry more buddy. Everybody is running from your new and improved version of Twitter, but it’s not your fault - it’s the evil advertisers! How did this guy become a billionaire again? Oh yeah, he was born on 3rd base, used that money to buy already successful companies... rinse and repeat. I think his luck just ran out with Twitter.

I think notifying people they’ve been laid off by e-mail is “extremely messed up” too, yet he didn’t tweet about that, although around the same time that news was coming out he was tweeting about how “small talk should be illegal.” Talk about lack of perspective.
