Musk doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to managing employees.
...
Under his leadership at Tesla, the company has quashed union efforts by warehouse workers, faced racial discrimination lawsuits and dismissed employee concerns about returning to work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
So in other words he has an excellent track record.
Despite his enormous wealth, Musk doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to managing employees. Under his leadership at Tesla, the company has quashed union efforts by warehouse workers, faced racial discrimination lawsuits and dismissed employee concerns about returning to work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
TC has to get their little attack in.
But the most amusing part of the article was learning that twitter has a "Director of Machine Learning Ethics, Transparency and Accountability". So many roles to be cut.
Yes I think pretty much every company of substantial size gets a racial or sex discrimination lawsuit. It's a grift. You either fight it, pay them to go away, or nowadays bring in equity consultants to further destroy the company.

If you look at the linked article about the "union" beef, Musk addresses his employees' grievances very generously and openly. The "racial discrimination lawsuits" are as bootless as the usual claims of "racism" fouling our society, and he is being rational in the face of coof hysteria.
In short, Musk appears pretty "based," and is becoming my culture hero. The absolutely insane attacks on him from the usual suspects rather cement his wholesome ethical position, in my opinion.
I agree that employees of any big outfit can and should lobby management for improvements in conditions and pay without organizing into unions. Labor unions hurt relations because of their bureaucratic structure, their political obligations to other unions, and the tendency of cabals of power-mad leftists to take over and involve the rank-and-file in causes that go against their inclinations.
Unions had their time and place, back at the turn of the century when nobody was going to improve work conditions without an organized effort. Now they're just a money laundering scheme for the lefts political machine.
Please don't put him on a pedestal man. He's useful to our cause, but Elon is Elon. He'll do stuff to help himself and his idea of humanity.
I'd argue Musk is just pragmatic. It's not sustainable for Musk if Twitter gets worse and that's why he bought it, and it just so happens to benefit all of us in the proess.

Is that for anything more than the time he refused - as required by law - to hire illegal immigrants for classified aerospace work?
Also "faced" lawsuits means shit.
Agreed. In this context "lost" would be required for this to even be of interest, I'd submit, rather than merely "faced".
All "faced" requires is a solicitor immoral enough (but I'm repeating myself) to file frivolous litigation.
Yep, an excellent track record.
Woke employees are a liability.
It's not even like they have any assets you can come back at legally, they're generally living hand-to-mouth anyway.
Hand to mouth, powder to nose, and needle to arm.
Dick to ass, and also trans-dicks to ass.
a woke anywhere is a threat to life everywhere

And two of those "failures" are good things as far as running a company is concerned and the third is just the unavoidable end result of diversity.

musk grew up in south africa, he knows better than most not to hire blacks
He's South African so it isn't 'the blacks' it's 'the bliks'
Any company large enough to matter will have a merge process that prevents a single employee from making unauthorized changes.
Bloomberg, Tech Crunch, and the obsolete Urinalists punked again.
I think the idea is more that this goes beyond whatever they normally have in place:

Why not give your employees what they want and squash the union? Unions do nothing but disrupt work and line the pockets of union bosses.

I pretty much agree about their former usefulness, but don't know anything about the money laundering angle.
All anyone has to do to get the low-down on labor unions is watch "On the Waterfront" or a documentary on Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters.

I agree that skepticism is more prudent than gushing about Musk, but his takeover and his statements about free speech have made me enthusiastic.
Before joining team Musk wait until the deal goes through (still an 'if') and if it does wait to see if he actually does whay he's saying he'll do.
Twitter’s “trust and safety” team has already leaked Saudi journalist private information and possibly led to many deaths and torture.
