By laying off workers before that date, Mr. Musk may avoid paying the grants. Classy.

You know what's classy? Including the entire sentence from the article, instead of cutting it off to support your point.

Here's the actual sentence from the article:

"By laying off workers before that date, Mr. Musk may avoid paying the grants, though he is supposed to pay the employees cash in place of their stock under the terms of the merger agreement."

A half-truth is still a lie.

That said, this is the part I find disturbing:

Ross Gerber, the chief executive of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, said he was told by Jared Birchall, the head of Mr. Musk’s family office, that layoffs were coming at Twitter. “I was told to expect somewhere around 50 percent of people will be laid off,” he said.

Thank you for keeping me honest @reaperducer. It wasn't an intentional omission, I'm apparently just bad at reading.
