How can any person or entity have anything to say about how he runs it? Do you fellers think it is our business? Yes, you do. How so?
I have been preaching this policy for years....work, or leave. Do what I say, or leave. Be loyal, or leave.
He must have read my book!!!!

So you invented a problem, imagined all of us taking a stance on it, got offended over that invented problem and our invented reaction to it and then you just declared a solution.

You went through an entire discussion in your head with your imaginary foes.
Quite efficient, you no longer need us

I’ve been outed by Zahlanzi. Boy really smart stuff. If Elon hired you for being smart, you would be gone, because you cannot possibly work as hard as he would demand. One has to work hard, I’m told you fellrs get about a month and a half vacation overseas. I cannot imagine that as an employer. I can hire plenty of people that don’t need to lay out loafing that long. The losers. I would never hire anyone that he fires from Twitter. I don’t care how smart they are.

It couldn't POSSIBLY be Musk SCREWING UP BADLY? Firing the men and women who know coding? And now demanding long work hours, come to the factory or be fired.
I guess you are ok with 19th century employer practices, 14 hour long days, if you want your office heated, bring in your own coal or wood, forget US paying for that, considering how INCREDIBLY expensive coal was say in 1880, you can see why those assswipes would not pay for heat.

Settle, Sonhouse, put your comment in conversational English, and make your point without asking what 'I' think, which is quite irrelevant. Does not Musk have a right to do what he wants with his company?
It is a given he can 'demand' what he wants, and fire someone for not producing said demand. Certainly we can stipulate to that. I think if I go to work for Sonhouse Enterprises, that you can tell me what to do. I cant tell you.
So, bring it! 😳

As long as he doesn’t break any employment contracts yeah he can pretty much do as he wants within existing employment laws.
Oh and of course abide by the internet laws of the differing countries twitter operates in.
But yeah he can pretty much do what he wants within those constraints

All this goes unsaid. For the record, Stockholders shall have voting position in many decisions, but with Twitter agreements, Musk apparently does not give his stockholders the right to hire and fire. Thank God.
