The employees are not innocent. If you do such a bad job that you attract the ire of a huge portion of users and a billionaire willing risk it big to buy out the company to correct the ship then maybe it is time for some self reflection.

The people responsible for company direction decisions like that are the ones who will be profiting most from this, though. They're the C-Suites who were likely to have the most stock, have severance packages (which they'll certainly sue for and get).

This is warmed over Calvinism "salvation through work" as applied to tech, but with the wrath of God replaced by billionaires.

"If bad things happen to you, it's because you're bad person. Billionaires wouldn't visit their anger on good people"
