When was the last time you negotiated a contract after it was already signed by all parties?
The thing I really hate about the Elon Twitter purchase saga is that now you have an army of Elonauts who believe that breaking contracts is just normal contract negotiations.
I’m dreading facing one of these people off in court one of these days. Eventually they will have to pay up, and more, but it’s just an awful waste of time and energy for everybody.
To be fair, I'd say Trump perfected that business plan but Trumponauts are much less terminally online than the Elonauts (although I suspect the overlap is high.)
The problem with a lot of these people is that they follow the worst, most superficial aspects of their idols. It’s like when all the Jobs followers decided being a good CEO meant wearing jeans and a black turtleneck and and being assholes to everyone around you.
I’m 100% sure the majority of the Elon followers won’t bother with his work ethic, which is admirable, and instead focus on his douchebaggery and petty criminality instead.
