Definitely a lot of extremely damaging allegations in this filing. Of course it is one side's allegations rather than having the court find them to be true (yet). The descriptions of the working conditions are horrendous, with the code reviews, placing people on PIPs and then saying to them that their behaviour doesn't need to be improved, then firing them anyway.

I am not a lawyer but the claims here seem pretty damning and asset that Musk flat out doesn't respect contractual agreements (nor building codes apparently) in the least. I can't recall anyone quite so broadly deciding they're above contracts across a variety of topics in the past.

Remember the guy who said he'd buy Twitter sight unseen, signed a contract, then decided it had a bot problem after tech companies lost 1/3 of their value?

Our last president is well known for not paying for services rendered and making people sue to get paid.

Led by Musk and the cadres of sycophants who were internally referred to as the transition team,

I didn't realize lawsuit filings could have colorful language like this.

This does not seem like a confident filing. It seems very roundabout, subjective and not substantive. Most of the points are either recounting the complainers' emotional states or trying to psychoanalyze Musk and his team. A lot of time is spent accusing Musk of breaking other laws unrelated to this case. Very few of the points show that Musk was obligated to do something, or that Musk didn't do that thing.

This complaint was written for the media, not the court.

Another round of black PR against Musk?
