Elon Musk sued by two women for “discriminatory” layoffs. Do you consider this a justifiable discrimination case?

Elon Musk SUED for firing women, suit claims discrimination, Musk asked staff to WORK HARD, women refused - https://youtu.be/_19bEcQEK5A

Yes, Musk is intentionally discriminating against women!

No. Musk was not intentionally discriminating against women. Just happened to have fired more women because there were more women working there as opposed to men

[MCheetah]

Surprise, surprise... Two losers who were only hired because of their vagina and possibly their sexuality and/or race, can't find more work elsewhere because they have no job skills and are now trying to sue one of the richest people on the planet because he justifiably laid them off, along with hundreds of others, for being useless.

I bet you every dollar I have they're upper middle class Karens in their mid to late twenties. The judge should laugh these two morons out of the room and immediately dismiss their bullsh*t claims. But because they have pussies, it might even go to trial.

The BEST case scenario is that these two assholes Streisand Effect themselves out of getting even more work, after their trial gets laughed out of court, and they won't even be able to get hired at Starbucks after this, and the majority of people shredding up their resumes will be women. If only we actually lived in a fair and balanced world where that was the most likely scenario to happen, instead of them failing upwards into being White House secretaries or something.

The poll is at 100% for option B for right now, but the fact it won't stay at 100% makes me lose my faith in humanity,

My understanding is that he didn’t actually fire anyone. He stated that there would be hard work ahead of those who stayed and offered substantial severance packages for those who would not. If that’s true, it shouldn’t take long to defeat those dummies in court. If not, whatever comes to light should be interesting.

[Aerissa_Jade]

He is a businessman, in it to make money. He would not fire the best simply because they did not have a penis.

He would get rid of those who either, weren't up to par in their skills, work ethics or they called him out publicly.

As percentages mean nothing to a true business oriented person who's goal is to make money.

Why keep someone less qualified and let someone better go, to balance the lay offs? That would hurt the company in the long run.

At the same time, letting go more qualified people, simply for being female would also hurt the company in the long run.

This is nothing more than a pissed off political stunt by these two women, who got 3 months pay for severance in the best job market ever to look for another job.

[SpringValley]

He fired 80% of his staff. The two Karen's are just going to have to deal with that.

[annabananna]

With the amount of people he has fired I’m sure he knew he’d get sued by someone.

[annabananna]

I don’t think he would intentionally discriminate. You don’t get that successful by caring if you employee is female. You get that successful by having great people in your team.

[MCheetah]

Not to mention, if he was discriminating against them, he wouldn't have kept on any female employees, instead of just keeping on the ones who actually work hard and have skills to justify them being there.

[Adaeva]

An employer should be able to retain the most valuable employees and eliminate the least valuable regardless of sex. That should be based on employer's opinion, not the opinion of others. Discrimination should mean equal opportunity not equal numbers. Whether or not women are more likely to be care givers, should never trump profit.

[sage2021]

Elon works hard and expects the same from the people that work for him.

I know when I was working I always worked very hard. I know in my heart I went above and beyond what was expected as an employee.

Now a days, most people just don't want to put much effort into their job, that is, until your butt gets fired. Even then you don't start working harder, you just sue the person that fired you. It's much easier than finding a new job and working harder.

[BeMuse]

He fired over half the company. There's not really any room to argue discrimination. He notified everyone that there would be a mass layoff. Then he fired all sorts of people.

[SpringValley]

I heard it was 80%, so you're right. It's pretty hard to prove you've been singled out when 80% of the people were fired.

[Tyrael]

No wonder there was more women employees there, given that they're so much cheaper to hire than men since they're what like 15% cheaper to hire than men? No brainer really. Makes you wonder why every company doesn't just hire women to save money.

[Mia-Wallace]

Did he ask you to do something illegal? Was his demand illegal? If yes, then you can "sue". If no, fuck off.

[LiamJHayden]

Not a chance. He fired the people whom he saw as unnecessary to running an efficient business.

[jshm2]

If this works out, then Elon is going to be a Felon, before too long. The list to sue him will be enormous.

[USLegionary]

No. They got treated equally not special treatment.

[misogynistic_pig]

No, women should not work in major companies.

[SaltyBeaches]

This is embarrassing to normal women.
