US court X verdict: Bad news for Elon Musk

@abhi_bangal He may have contributed som money, but Trump had plenty of donors.

@snowy22315 Oh yes. That's another angle that a man like Donald Trump is not lacking donors.

If what I have heard is right, Elon Musk has funded Mr Trump's election campaign. Am I right? Is there any truth in what I heard?

@abhi_bangal I even read that Elon Musk makes very high demands on his senior and excellent employees. Very difficult to work under him!

I agree with you. But let me just say that working on instinct is one thing and firing employees is another. There are so many legendary people in the business circle. But changing the work culture swiftly doesn't make any sense. No matter, Elon Musk is a big name in the world. But just see where our great Mr. Ratan Tata stands and where's Mr. Musk when it comes to looking after their employees.

@abhi_bangal Things like expecting them to work almost 20 hours a day. Plus expecting very quick and precise answers for each problem. And a few more hard questions in a very rude manner.

But I don't like to see such things if a boss is firing his employees like this. This is not the way to get rich. Everyone should respect the agreement done at time of getting jobs. Both parties agreed bound to do that. I think the court has taken the correct decision. By the way, on a lighter note, I have found a way to accumulate wealth from @porwest, Jim Bauer

@abhi_bangal We have a lot of people who do things that aren't right. Who believe that once you're let go, you don't deserve any form of payments. Its sad, but a lot of jobs don't do severange packages. Just top teir office jobs do. It's wrong, sure,but it happens. I don't have to like it. But then I never worked for him, either.

@kaylachan Jobs not giving severange packages started only recently or was it in place long back? I think at least couple of decades back or something like that period the severange packages might be there. The financial conditions started deteriorating only after that. Am I right? The worst was the 2008 recession. Here in India, the people who got government jobs after 2001, aren't entitled to pension after retirement. That is what I know about India. Maybe the situation might not be the same over there. You said there are a lot of people who don't do the correct things. At times I wonder what's happening to the US. Because as non-US people, we have a very different image of your country. But when I read such comments from US citizens, it's changing the perspective that we have towards the country.

No one grows the way someone things as Elon Musk does, if I were to interpret your response. Be it the growth of your business, or the growth of your country. When it comes to growth, an individual as such can never grow. He has to have a team with him. It's a give and take affair. Only then it is possible to see someone growing and being better in relations as well as finance.

@LindaOHio Welcome!

This in itself is a huge comment, Linda. Not saying anything means saying so many things in the real sense. You too have a good weekend.

@abhi_bangal Thank you very much.

But now that his good "friend" is donning the top office, you never know

Definitely. If so many people are thinking on these terms as you said, it's very easy to understand his working style and the way the culture in his company's could be. It might be giving the employees a fear in the back of their minds, that even if you are working for a man like Elon Musk, it's no guarantee that they will continue their jobs. Going to the office one may find out that he is no longer working for him

Whatever you mentioned in your opening comments can become a bone of contention. You said it's a common practice in Florida that when a place closes down or any management changes, one can lose their job. Agreed. You gave a couple of examples explaining the same thing. But here the question is regarding the social platform like Twitter. And when it comes to such a platform the entire world, uses I am sure there are a whole lot of nuances regarding the agreement from both the employer and the employee. Though the closing down of Jr. Stores or Ruby Tuesday can affect only a handful of people, I feel it a bit difficult to run the same logic with a platform like X. Secondly, we also don't know what exactly the agreement details between the two concerned people were. That is why, I said that this is a bone of contention.
