Musk is also reportedly (as per Puck) refusing to pay JAMS (it's about $3.5mm in filing fees alone for 2K two-party arbitrations, and he's going to spend many multiples of that on attorney fees), so if he makes arbitration impossible through nonpayment then those employees are also going to have to take him to court to either enforce arbitration or allow removal to the court system. Just a clusterfuck on every conceivable level.

Watching nonpayment in the courts could be entertaining. One of the offices is scheduled for eviction: https://www.techradar.com/news/twitter-is-being-evicted-from-one-of-its-main-offices-for-not-paying-its-rent https://www.techradar.com/news/twitter-is-being-evicted-from... ; not clear if they still have operations there though.

  So will those employees be fired for not working from the office when there is no office?

  Can someone in Boulder walk over, knock, and report back? 3401 Bluff St, Boulder, CO is the address. Maybe take some photos, ask some questions, don't break any laws of course (trespassing and whatnot).

Maybe, but I need some BTC to get there on my day off, I can drop by around lunch time and see what the rank and file have to say. See, who said BTC has no use-case: it continues to fund independent journalism! Whether you guys are willing to use it is another matter entirely, but it does stuff like this all the time that you are simply not privy to. I'm calling your bluff, HN: I'll follow up with BTC address if this materializes and will report by end of day with what I found if you make it happen.

      Let me know if you'd take Venmo or Zelle instead. I am curious, but not enough to buy bitcoin curious. Probably curious enough to put the gig on Craigslist though. EDIT: Per Venmo's terms and conditions when you attempt to buy BTC: "Cryptocurrencies cannot be used to send money or pay for goods and services on Venmo."

    Office has been closed since December per ground truth sourced locally.

California changed the law a few years back where if the party that requires arbitration (in almost all cases, the company) doesn't pay their portion, it's an automatic default on their part. It's a strategy but not a good one.
