It was reported by Kate Conger on the 29th that fertility benefits were going to be reduced by half, so that’s another quick change.
The company missed payments to and then renegotiated its contract with Carrot, a benefits provider for fertility services including egg and sperm freezing and in vitro fertilization, according to two people close to the company. On Thursday, Carrot notified Twitter employees that the fertility benefit amount would be halved in the new year. A representative for Carrot did not respond to requests for comment.
Considering all of the kitchen equipment which will be part of that auction on the 17th, I’m guessing “snacks” means “a vending machine.”
It’s been less than ten weeks since Elon closed the Twitter deal. I mean, not that Twitter was at the peak of corporate health previously, but come on.
I guess this is what happens when a billionaire gets high off his own farts.
Sounds more like stock market manipulation than deranged Musk assistance. Buy Tesla shares. Make it seem like Tesla is moving into a new market. Wait for price to rise. Sell shares. Profit.
Also: a supersonic electric VTOL jet? How does that even work? Electric…Jet…
Technically all you need is a heat source1), and I understand Tesla’s batteries already can generate a lot of that. Albeit perhaps a bit too spontaneously.
1) Which is why nuclear powered jets and ramjets are possible. Never got past the proof of concept/early prototype stage, though.
There’s also this, which would maybe technically qualify as a jet. But the technology is far from being practical for anything than ultralight drones and even further from supersonic speeds.
Zoë Schiffer’s comments on Twitter on the cut benefits included one pointing out that the commuter benefits are required by law to reduce air pollution. Twitter isn’t under the 50 employee minimum… yet.
You build hype by playing that line Elon was given in Iron Man 2 over and over. Meanwhile, NASA is working on modifying a prop plane with batteries and electric motors.
Apparently it is possible to take an existing account, and change not only the user ID but also the @handle. So he took an existing account and did that. Apparently otherwise you have to wait 90 days on a new acct before you can even apply for a check mark? Which seems dumb.
