Well, I guess it's settled then. He's definitely going to regret buying them now that he can't make the changes that spurred him to make the offer initially. Another billionaire getting played. Nice work everyone.

I hope all that were behind this signed it. Seems meaningless (and it probably is even if every employee signed) if only a few but I don't think they know how privately held companies work. I suspect the money folks behind this purchase would have a say but Elon should tell them to pound sand. DOJ should pound sand, as well. One of the C level makes $12mm. I would start there once I got to know the business a little better.

Demands from the Twits. How nice.

Yeah. I just spent 44 billion on a deal that I overpaid for and I am expected t bow down to woke employees?. Ha when he fires 75% of staff and cleans up the place I might even get on twitter!

He could also announce an across the board 10% salary and benefits cut and drop that bomb on them.

Had that done to me twice during my working years.

He could tell then 1 out of every three workers will be gone one month after the day he takes over.

There are lots of options open to any investor or investment group purchasing a company.

There are things worse than what I have entioned that he could do that are legal and done in times past.

I think this will be played out by the "golden rule" ......and Elon has the gold.

If Musk doesn’t restore Kanye’s ability to preach truth to power then Twitter belongs in the rubbish bin with MySpace and The Metaverse.

Good luck with that. Better polish up the ole resume.

Good luck to these twits! Demanding these 'rights' - only a couple of which are actual rights, albeit they mixed them in with things not included in the CRA, should get them a great long-term employment relationship.

I hope he lets them all go, although it is none of my business since I am neither an owner, a customer, or a twitter.

What a woke bunch of pussies

This is not how the real world works.

So....what are they going to do about it if they determine that their demands have not been met? When a fella' owns the company, he makes the rules!!!

Typical leftist entitlement generation! My demand would be for them to go to hell!

I doubt he'll have to fire them, they will quit.

Fire them all.

You can demand/want in 1 hand and poopoo in another and see which one fills up faster!!

Work from home is like saying that you exercise in your recliner!

Whacking 75% of these woke brats sounds like a good start, starting at the top.

/The steady decline in Twitter usage and advertising is going to snowball once Musk takes over. He won't need but a hand full of people before you know it.
The shares will be penny stocks in a year.

Elon is a smart guy and knows he will have to keep employees happy. Software developers are in short supply so I doubt he makes any major changes to benefits or pay that would negatively affect his employees. I am interested to see how this acquisition works in the long run. It seems hard to imagine that Elon or anyone else will be able to make it significantly more profitable.

LOL @ "Demands". Twitter is not human powered at this point. Elon can fire 80% of the employees immediately, keep a skeleton crew to do server maintenance, backups, etc. and the application will keep on Twittering till the end of time. He can replace as needed.

I don't think he's taking their extortionate threats seriously.

He just switched his moniker to Chief Twit and walked into THQ carrying, literally, a sink, saying, "Let that sink in."

The twits just experienced a sinking feeling.

Adios, My Friends (AMF)!

To all you naysayers. Most of twitter’s income is paid by 5eyes just like Google, Microsoft, and Meta. It’s a honeypot for global surveillance. Everything is vacuumed up and sorted and compiled in a series of giant black cubes located in Utah.

If you don’t know what 5eyes then educate yourself.

Hope he tells them to kiss his ass! If those "employees" don't like policy he brings bye bye!

Imagine how many 1,000s of non-productive man-hours are taking place right now while these entitled libtards chat back and forth about their demands?

Antar has relatives.

Musk is smart enough to anticipate lots of mischief by the soon to depart twits and thus will have trusted employees who will lock things down before they are shown the door.

Work ethic of Millennials and Gen Z.
They demand work-life balance.
They demand respect for their personal needs.
They demand personal days as needed in addition to vacation and sick days.
Oh, and they want to start out making as much as you do.
If you don't comply, they will "quiet quit" on you, by just showing up and doing nothing so you still pay them for being there.

Twitter employees will soon learn that demands are made by employers and not employees.

@3:56
These trillion dollar companies created by Millennials and GenZ are worth more than anything you boomers have ever created.

Omg. If I was Elon, for great fun I would literally walk around to each of them (with four taser-prepared security personnel present) and quietly tell them one at a time: "Please clean out your desk and hand me your ID and keys" making sure to video tape all of them begging or melting down for years of hilarious fodder for the new Twitterverse. '

Far too many youths today have absolutely zero idea of how the real world works because their worthless parents acted as their "friends". Now they have no concept of "who's in charge".

Hopefully Musk will shut it down completely. Maybe Facebook could be next!

Ironic
They’re demanding no discrimination for political views… ironic isn’t it considering they sensor the conservative voices openly and acknowledged it.

October 26, 2022 at 4:37 PM, we'll see how important those companies are when the money is no good, and you can't buy food.

You'll have to barter to obtain the things you need. What will they barter? Totally useless in the real world.

Will Elon cancel their safe spaces, complete with comfort dogs, hot cocoa, and teddy bears? Will the in-house child psychologists be let go also?

I seem to recall something that went like "Whose bread I eat, his song I sing...". It was posted on a piece of paper above the time clock I punched every day while I was loading trucks at night and commuting to college during the day.

Might help for the twitterites to keep that in mind...

I’ll bet anybody a paycheck that deal does not close Friday

I have worked for others, and I have also been the owner of several companies I built. I always tried to be respectful of those I worked for, giving them no insubordination.

When I was the owner, I had two rules. Very simple rules. Rule number one, it was my way, or the highway. Rule number two, refer to rule number one.

I have always followed, and promoted, the K.I.S.S. program. Keep It Simple, Stupid.

If the Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, etc. become worthless then so does your retirements and pensions.

Jesus Christ I didn’t realize how many boomers were on this blog.

Happiness is seeing 1,000s of these snowflakes triggered.

Sends their entitled little asses down the road kicking rocks, I so hope, and tells them to take their nose rings with them.

Meanwhile I just got out of a month of Facebook jail for posting a photo of Hunter Biden. Zuckerturd will hire every one of these Latte swilling wokesters.

5:05am - Yeah, I’m sure all you did was post a photo.

This place has turned into an idiotic, conspiracy echo chamber.

If they won't leave when fired, snap a lead rope to their nose ring and give it a good tug.

I can't help but laugh they are demanding that Musk not discriminate workers on the basis of their political beliefs. I wonder how many conservatives were harassed at Twitter or just simply not hired based on political beliefs.

October 26, 2022 at 6:44 PM, maybe you don't understand what you read. I said when the money is no good, and you can't buy food.

My retirement, isn't in the gambling of stocks. I depend on gold, have been for over forty years. Gold has never been worthless. Someone will always barter for gold.

When the rest of the world finally realizes that they no longer need the Federal Reserve, U.S. dollar to conduct trade, well let's just say you haven't seen inflation yet.

Indicative of the ego-centric confidence developed over time, by being in the authoritative position to question, fact-check, and cancel anything posted that didn't fit your agenda.

Will Musk cancel the free vegan oat sprout tea?

@9:38
How long have you goldbugs been hoping for the collapse of paper money? My guess is it won’t happen before you die and your grandkids pawn your shiny rocks for cryptocoins and NFTs! 😂 🤣

Meanwhile the rest of the world continues to function without you, while you listen to Alex Jones on shortwave in your doomsday bunker!

The average age range of a Tesla employee is between 29-39.

Elon knows how to deal with millennials and gen Z. He knows how to motivate them into making profit for him.

He made a twitter post entitled, “Let that sink in!” which was a video of him a carrying a bathroom sink into Twitter HQ.

It was hilarious!

You people just watch.

@1:33
Yup!
The American Automobile Industry was dying a slow death during the reign of the boomers.
Now that they are dying off, the American Automobile Industry is experiencing a surge in global sales thanks to innovators like Elon Musk. He even brought GM with him into the 21st century! Now GM actually has preorders for their Electric Vehicles similar to Tesla!

@ 4:37

Ever heard of ford , dodge, Chevrolet , General Electric, Apple , proctor and gamble, or Levi’s ? I could go on but I feel like I’ve made my point.

Alex Jones, what are you about 28? Alex Jones was still needing his diapers changed when I started to buy gold. I'm not concerned with what happens to the stock market, are the worthless money that you clowns crave so much. It's called financial peace of mind.
