In reply to the discussion: Twitter sued over short-notice layoffs as Elon Musk's takeover rocks company [View all]SpankMe
(3,721 posts)Here's my hypothesis:
1. Musk will layoff half of the company in violation of the WARN act, which requires a 60-day notice if the layoffs exceed a certain number. He's doing this on purpose in order to draw an enforcement action from the government.
2. California and the feds will attempt enforcement, such as suing or implementing other penalties or remedial actions.
3. Elon will cry about "oppression" from California and the hostile business environment here.
4. He will then use this as an excuse to move Twitter HQ from San Francisco to Texas.
5. This will cause many, if not most, of the remaining employees to quit since they won't want to move. (San Fran vs. Texas is quite a culture shock for SF Bay Area types.)
6. He'll then run Twitter as a shoestring operation from a warehouse adjacent to his Tesla Gigafactory near Austin.
7. Owing to the hate speech that will proliferate on the platform, Twitter will shrink and end up just like MySpace.
Don't quit Twitter, I say. Stay on there and flag and report as much right wing hate speech as you can find. Overwhelm their reporting system. Take screen caps of hate speech next to ads and send these images to the advertiser.
