can we not drag elmo’s good name through the mud? i understand it is to dunk on elon but elmo is a wonderful character from my childhood and my four year old daughter loves him also. i just don’t think it is fair to elmo
I thought the same when people described those 2 jabronis that fucked up the end of Game of Thrones as D&D. Like come on, fam. D&D is way cooler than those 2.
It doesn’t even matter, Elvis fired them, slandered them on Twitter, and now he’s upset that a different company hired them??? Are they supposed to just stay unemployed?
Many fired devs also had a working visa, so if they wouldn’t have work, they would have to move back.
I don’t root for Meta, but i can take a little win if Musk is losing.
Jesus Christ I completely forgot that many of the workers were/are H1B visas. Possibly here for many years with spouse and kids. Our immigration system is so fucking dogshit placing all the power over someone’s life in the hands of people like Zuck or Elon. Open borders is best obviously but within some neoliberal system the cruelty here and the privatization of said cruelity is really beyond the pale. Even the chuds should be pissed about this situation since those immigrant workers will be willing to work for dogshit wages and under dogshit conditions (not blaming them, it’s not their fault) and thus lower the working conditions for citizens. Those visas should be unconditionally granted indefinitely pending permanent resident status (green card) and completely untied to any employer. Maybe if I go super libby I’d say make it a requirement they work for a minimum of 6 months within the applied-for position or industry barring being fired (for any reason to avoid BS by employers) or the company going bankrupt. Then they can do whatever they want while waiting for permanent residence… The way it is now is just absolutely bonkers and clearly as fuck designed to torture people with the constant “stay in line, stfu, eat your crumbs or you and your wife will be on a boat next week.” Pretty gross. Shithole country.
In the letter sent to the Zuck by his lawyers it’s stated that ex-Twitter engineers still have access to Twitter trade secrets, which doesn’t make much sense for people that haven’t worked there for months. This means that either he is basically lying or Twitter is not able to secure itself because they probably have also fired the people in charge to do so
IIRC some of the employees who still have company-owned computers, etc have tried numerous times to return them with no response from Twitter. Like you said probably because those people were fired as well.
For the longest time Twitter has been reportedly a fantastic place to work at, and they had some great engineers who would never be lured away to other companies for any amount of money.
Except for the unlikely scenario where Twitter is circling the drain and Meta comes in with an offer to build a competitor from scratch using all the tools at their disposal.
What is the context of his tweet?
Elmo is angy that Meta hired the employees he fired (or who quit because Twitter’s a fucking dumpster fire) to build a Twitter-like service.

Give Wizards of the Coast enough time, and it wont be.

According to them they did hire some former Twitter employees but didn’t have them working on threads.

Its also worth noting that even though musk isn’t happy about it, legally he can’t do shit. He fired those people; Meta did not poach those employees.

Goddamn I fucking HATE Zuck the Cuck, but in this one specific case, gotta give the dude credit: That’s hilarious
