It’s like, he doesn’t know whether or not it’s going to work, so delays paying anybody (except obviously the lawyers) as long as possible. When it really doesn’t work out, nobody gets paid. If it somewhat works out, he negotiates the payment down. Do you want it, or do you want more delay?

Dude is the richest person in the world. Penny pinching and denying his former employees their due when he rapidly raises his wealth is outright evil. Well, I guess there is a reason why no good human ever accumulates hundreds of billion dollars. If you are good, your conscience will force you to use your wealth to make other’s lives better and you will lose your big B tag.

Totally drinking the Gospel of Wealth Kool aid. You grind as much money as possible doing evil shit and then give a bunch of money away when you’re old so people remember you well and you get to direct the world through philanthropy. Carnegie 101

It’s not even just accumulating and giving that money away due to conscience. Nobody with a conscience could do what it takes to accumulated that large sum of wealth in the first place. You have to stomp on people and actively hurt the people around you.

That’s exactly how you get wealthy. Screw anyone you can, threaten them with eternal lawsuits, and you can get a huge discount on labour and other costs. Trump was famous for pulling the same shit.

I’m a little surprised that Twitter can just refuse to come to the table without simply losing by default. But I suppose they wrote the terms of the arbitration agreement, so… not that surprised.
