  • From reading the article, I don’t think that this is an accurate description of the situation.

    I believe that Twitter employees have been getting a discretionary bonus, so normally Musk would have been fine simply not paying it out, but as part of the acquisition he promised that he/the company would pay it out as it had been in previous years, with some stipulations, etc.

    So the issue now is that he promised he would pay it, which means that he’s obligated to do it, because the employees made decisions based on that promise that cost/lost them money.

    It seems like very simple promissory estoppel.







  • My counterpoint to yours: YouTube Premium is not available in all countries.

    Beyond that, I personally used YouTube Red for years until they killed Google Play Music. I was an avid user of GPM, had several playlists and radios tuned there, and when they announced the move to YT Music, I was hesitant but gave them until literally the last minute to add the features from GPM that didn’t exist on YTM, but they never did.

    I cancelled my YouTube Red subscription the day that the GPM app on my phone said it wouldn’t work again, and on that day I swore I’d never pay YT another penny directly.
