How does indemnification typically work for employees? I've often seen it included in contracts. > We contacted Twitter about the lawsuit today. The company continues to auto-reply with a poop emoji to all requests sent to its public relations email address. Bizarre.

Any decent sized company has Directors and Officers Insurance which would pay out to cover these types of things and the contracts tend to be written to be extremely beneficial to the executives because share holders don't want them being scared of facing personal financial hardship for what they've done for the company.

Yup, and this: >>"Over two months after Plaintiffs' initial written demand, the Company offered only a cursory acknowledgment of receipt, but still refused to acknowledge its obligations and to remit payment of any invoices." I've gone from seriously respecting Musk to the extent of posting multiple defenses of him on HN, to now seeing that he consistently promotes authoritarianism, screws employees, and is a professional deadbeat. Getting one of his cars was something that I just expected to do soon-ish (once I needed one and they fixed the quality and service issues). Now? No way I'd even consider it. I've seen the same trend on HN. It used to be near-universal praise for his works before a good measure of skepticism crept in. Now, he's almost universally reviled. This is the exact opposite of the trend he needs, as Guy Kawasaki lead Apple marketing - get the experts, leaders, power users on your side, and they'll influence everyone else. Musk is now doing the opposite. Even Paul Graham is now trolling Musk (and we cn watch it go right over Musk's head in this hilarious exchange [0].
