China Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Elon Musk Under Fire for Using Anti-Disability Slur on X Not content with goading British rioters or trying to bait South American dictators into cage fights, a controversial tweet has yet again landed the world’s richest man in hot water. On Sunday, bloodthirsty Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov took to X, formerly Twitter, to personally thank Elon Musk after obtaining a Cybertruck he’d since kitted out with a machine gun turret, adding “I am sure this ‘beast’ will be of great use to our soldiers” fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. After being directly confronted on the platform by activist and lawyer Seth Abramson over whether he had in fact supplied one of Putin’s closest allies with a Tesla vehicle, Musk tweeted: “Are you seriously so r-----ed that you think I donated a Cybertruck to a Russian general? That’s amazing.” The anti-disability slur immediately sparked backlash in the comments section. One user posted “words like the r word are awful and insulting and should never be used in this day and age,” with another person adding “Do you actually use that word like that? What an a--hole.” As someone who’s previously been candid about his experiences of growing up with Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism, Musk’s cruel choice of insult was all the more curious for it actually having been used against him at school.

Here's another link: Elon Musk’s X reveals investors in court filing A federal judge on Tuesday ordered Elon Musk’s X to unseal the list of shareholders involved with X Holdings Corp., giving the public an official look at the investors who aided his $44 billion purchase of the social media platform previously known as Twitter in October 2022. Shareholders named in the document include some of Silicon Valley’s most prominent venture capitalists and entrepreneurs — as well as a fund linked with hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. The filing lists nearly 100 entities with a stake in X, although many appear to represent different funds controlled by the same firm or person. Other investors include venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al Saud; Twitter founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey; and 8VC, a venture capital firm co-founded by Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of intelligence contractor and data analysis platform Palantir. Lesser-known shareholders listed in the filing include UnipolSai S.P.A., an Italian financial services company based in Bologna. Many of the larger investors had previously been reported, but X had not publicly detailed its stakeholders before.

Die Hard Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) 13 hours ago, Cooked Crack said: What a strange process…. for such a large company. First, it implies the company doesn’t actually know the value of its employees. So exactly who is qualified then to vet these sales pitches and subjectively determine each’s impact and to assign a value? Surely not Musk. HR? Which schmuk has to deal with this 💩 ? A consultant?

tshile Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 It also creates animosity among staff. There are some positions that, viewed a certain wait, are “more important” or “do more”, but (generally) the org needs everyone to move in the same direction to be successful. when you start rating and ranking people based it bonuses it gets messy. Especially when it’s already being done via salary. To then also put the onus on the employees to justify their contribution to the company? Just a ****ty leadership tactic. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CousinsCowgirl84 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I think it is safe to say that at this point most of the people still working for X are musk fans that would love to write him a letter. what is interesting is that x currently has around 1000 employee and it functions about the same as it did when it had 7500 employees.

That presumes that the other 6500 employees contributed directly to the functioning (development/maintenance) of the software platform (coders/programmers, network/hardware, etc). It would interesting to see the breakdown of each department though. It wouldn’t be at all surprising that a large business/institution (eg. government) isn’t running lean.

TradeTheBeal! Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Cowgirl should reach out these employees and offer her services. Old girl could finally get some cash flow out of this mess instead of shining that knob for free all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
