It’s amazing what companies can get away with that a real person can’t…
It boils my blood that companies have more rights than actual people.
That’s because fines are hilarious. I propose a ‘jail time’ for companies engaging in wrongdoing. Basically a timeframe for which they can’t operate. For small things they should stop operating for a day/few days/week/months/years with or without a chance for ‘parole’ after a period. Scale up based on the crime. For egregious crimes, it should be ‘life’ without a chance of parole. This would get companies to behave so fast you’ll get whiplash.
Thing is, anything that punishes the company will mostly affect its employees and customers.
What’s needed is to go after the board members, CEOs, major investors. Avoid the scapegoats. I’m not sure how exactly, but someone is making those decisions.
I didn’t know that you can just not pay for things. I should try that with my rent.
Its so obvious now, Apollo and RiF are saved!
Extortionist API providers hate this one weird trick!
This only works if what you’re paying for costs more than the army of lawyers you’ll need to defend the inevitable lawsuit.
You don’t get rich by paying your company bills out of your pocket. You use investors money or government grants. Elon is out of ideas when he doesn’t have both to run twitter
Is this credible? If so isn’t kinda huge?
So Twitter continues to fuck around… soon they’ll find out
I mean, Elon stopped paying the people cleaning the offices and the rent already.
And still they come to clean the offices, and still they let them stay in the offices. It turned out paying was optional this whole time.
When you’re worth a hundred billion dollars EVERYTHING is optional. The landlord wants some of that sweet cash so he will tolerate any amount of waiting. Would YOU want to piss off one of the richest men in the world? He’s called people pedophiles for significantly less with no evidence at all. He’s doxxed people. He has millions of loyal dedicated followers who will harass you and threaten you.
Capital is way more than just money and Elon has more than almost anyone else on the planet.
Would one say Elon Musk is the cause of this?
My bet is liquidity is nonexistent. They are paying AWS with Amazon Advertising revenue: Amazon withholds ad payments for paying their AWS bills.
Would’ve expected the Xth richest person on earth to afford a bit of cloud services, especially after he bragged that he’s simplifying the infrastructure, reduces infra costs.
Yeah but the moron did that by leaning hard into horizontally scaling the core monolith, which is possibly the most expensive way to run an ecosystem
