Elon Musk fought the law. The law appears to have won.
X, Musk’s social media platform, has backed down in its fight with the Brazilian judiciary, after complying with court orders that had blocked users in the country from accessing X.
The platform bowed to one of the key demands made by Brazil’s supreme court by appointing a legal representative in the country. It also paid outstanding fines and took down user accounts that the court had ordered to be removed on the basis that they threatened the country’s democracy, the New York Times reported.
However, the battle is not quite over. The supreme court said X had not filed the proper documentation showing that it had appointed Rachel de Oliveira Conceicao as its Brazilian representative. It gave the company five days to present documents validating her appointment.
Pretty sure anyone that’s left are the guys that bought into the Elon mystique, so they sort of got what they signed up for.
Or they have visas that don’t let them quit, or well let’s be honest, Musk is not special, doesn’t really matter which psychopath you’re working for. He’s just loud.
Ah that’s a good point that I didn’t think about.
Exactly. When it’s a choice between a decently-paying IT job for a shitty company in the U.S. or living in poverty in Mumbai, I don’t blame any of them for sticking with the job.
Funny choice of Mumbai that tickled me… though can’t pinpoint why.
I can’t answer that. I wasn’t being arbitrary apart from arbitrarily picking a city in India. A large number of H1-B visa holders who work at Twitter come from India.
If not… maybe they’re being compensated accordingly. We can hope.
So if you’re a hiring manager and someone has experience working for him but doesn’t fawn over him, maybe you give them some serious credit and figure they were probably decent at their job plus they can work with anybody.
