No wonder he wants to shut down the courts.

I am not always a member to the sites of which you post links. It’s frustrating to a level that I think you want me to sign up or don’t care if I can read it or not. A screenshot with what you are actually referring to might be handy. I know it’s not appreciated, but hey…

it's supposed to be a gift link - but if it's not working you can try this

Do we have confirmation on whether or not they’re actually going to be paid?

Ex-employees as opposed to X employees.

That severance should come out of Elon’s own pocket since he’s the one who did the illegal firings.

In an email update to employees this week, their lawyer said that so far Musk is paying "twice as much" as he would have if he'd just paid everyone from the beginning (interest, arbitrator fees, lawyer fees)

duerpress.com•6 hours ago

If anyone needed proof that Elon is mentally/emotionally unhealthy....

kurtwagner.bsky.social•6 hours ago

There are still thousands of individual cases to go, but Musk/X could be on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars in severance payouts when this is all done

Claims range from nearly $100,000 to more than $1 million.

kurtwagner.bsky.social•5 hours ago

I'm seeing a lot of people ask whether he's actually paying. According to a prior email update from the same lawyer earlier this month, yes.

"Twitter is also making arrangements to pay the employees whose cases we have already won, so we are expecting people to get paid soon."

bookishdemocrat.bsky.social•3 hours ago

I wouldn’t count on anything until the money is in the bank accounts. Until then, it’s just talk.

sophieclw.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Is there any evidence he’s actually paying these claims, or is he ignoring the court?

text: "Shannon Liss-Riordan, a lawyer representing former employees in arbitrations, wrote in the memo that the 20 cases she’s won so far have cost the company *at least twice the amount of contested severance pay* because the awards have also included interest, arbitration expenses and legal fees."

Musk is, if anything, very bad at math.

eaglesfanintn.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Wow. He's a great businessman in the way that the fuckwit who couldn't keep a casino out of bankruptcy is a great businessman.

ckendall.bsky.social•6 hours ago

This is good, but it's taken more than two years and it will have been stressful and costly in the interim, even if they found no win no fee representation. Only the strongest will have seen it through. It shouldn't be necessary, but I'm glad they're doing it.

leseratte.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I am led to believe that the reason companies like arbitration is that it favors them, so hearing that Elon is getting crushed in this way is especially satisfying.

ardensteve.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Has anyone actually been paid the money awarded though?

Let's put Twitter into a financial situation where President Musk has to sell it also, Let's show the GOP what a spine looks like.

yes. they all have to go through individual arbitration unless Musk/X choose to settle.

That 20 for 20 becomes expensive when it's scaled up to 2,000,000 for 2,000,000 at a DOGE level. Not his money I guess so he won't care.

*QUESTION* I wasn't a user, I'm not going to create an account, but does anyone know the current ads on twitter? Boycotting Target, WaPo and others is fine, but those actually paying president musk to fund his nazi platform should be top of every list. I just can't seem to find a complete list.

“Getting full severance” as in a court ruled that he has to pay them, or have they received the money?

richs.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Arbitration has ruled in their favour. Unclear whether he’s paying the fees as expected.

sailorbp.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I wonder if he'll just stonewall on paying...

He's basically the President. Who is going to make him pay? Republicans are lawless.

Is musk 🐀 using govt money to pay for the severance?!

pieist.xenoplasm.com•2 hours ago

That's really something in a world where he can win a defamation suit just by saying "oh, when I was a kid in South Africa, 'pedo guy' was just how we said good morning."

anem.bsky.social•2 hours ago

A suit he won despite saying "he could be the next Epstein" during his deposition, I guess the court decided Musk meant "a good friend of mine" when he said that.

makeadifference.bsky.social•4 hours ago

EXCELLENT....surely took a while, though. Keep Muskrat tied up in litigation and settlement cases, raising the payouts higher and higher, the longer it takes.

ridiculicious.bsky.social•5 hours ago

But are they actually getting paid?
