>colossal ramifications of his own actions.

What actions are you referring too? Creating hundreds of thousands of high paying jobs? Turning the world onto electric vehicles? Cheating the cheapest imaginable spaceflight in human history? Reducing headcount by 85% and still getting far more done?

What bad actions has he done exactly?

“Reducing headcount by 85%” is a glib way to describe what happened. There’s a reason that over 1 in every 4 of those former employees is filing an arbitration claim!

And what is that reason? That they are entitled to a job at a company where 85% of people are redundant?

Don't be obtuse -- they are filing a claim because they did not receive the severance they were contractually due.

Do you know what thread you are in? He is treating his employees in a pretty fucked up way. That is one of the bad things he is doing. The whole topic of the thread is a bad thing he is doing.
