In Nigeria yes but not in America because the pants would be sued off your yansh until you were penniless.

That's probably what the 250k dollars came in. To prevent a lawsuit for wrongful termination. That's why they probably compensated her by paying her off.

It will become a wrongful termination if they (company) didn't compensate after terminating her job with them.

Haylel:
If any woman works for me as a secretary and I, at a point in time, made sexual advances at her and she refused, her work with me is over.
It's not because I'm having a revenge or something, but I'd rather cut her away than allow the urge make me do something we'd both regret.
The 250k dollars is enough for her to move on.

Exactly. Things between both of them will become awkward from that moment onward.

The logical thing is either to transfer such staff from working directly with you or in her case, let her go with adequate compensation. Which was where the 250k probably came in

truthsayer009:
I agree this part was terrible, Elon should have let it go and moved on. Any way, she got 250k after reporting.

It's normal. She'll no longer be trusted around influential people anymore. Those guys in the billionaire circle value discretion and confidentiality. Once you break that with them, you become toxic to their circle and it's difficult to work with them because they won't trust you to be discreet with them.

It's like an Unofficial ban ..

pacespot:
Why is it that most rich people are sexual predators? They could easily use their economic advantage to get into sexual relationship with some of the most beautiful women in the world but they prefer to prey on innocent girls who probably don't want such advances from them. Men need to understand that it is not every woman that money can buy her sex especially when she understands that you are just going to catch a fling with her.

Nothing sexual predative in asking an opposite gender on a sexual proposal. It seems you people will just find any trendy word online and start throwing it around.

She rightly declined to have sex with him. And like a respectable adult he is, he accepted the answer, even after wooing her with incentives.

Life goes on. The 250k part comes in because musk is a popular VIP and wouldn't want it coming out because people in the media will twist it however they like. So he paid for her silence (NDA).

What happened btw Elon and the lady is no different from what happens amng regular folks everyday , where you ask a lady out, with or without incentive, she declines, you move on to another willing lady that will accept your proposal.

Nothing new

matm:
The foreign countries won't attack us with nuclear b/c we have borrowed so much money from them and must pay it back fully.
Presently, it's endless debt servicing and no one has an idea on how and when we shall start paying d main debt.

And it's the leverage of debt they'll use to colonize and collect our lands when they've destroyed theirs.

Do Africa is like their rainy day stash that they won't touch , or want anything to happen to.

maasoap:
Not propaganda at all, missiles are the future. And Russia is the leading country in that aspect. Give them the deserved respect.



Tanks are useless in modern war, they're nothing but death boxes for the occupants. Just like aircraft carriers which are the symbols of American military might

The Russia-Ukraine war has broken the myth of tank being useful in modern urban warfare.

The next myth to be broken is Aircraft carriers. It's basically a moving coffin on the sea. And with the recent invention of fast missiles that cannot be stopped even if radar detects them, An air craft carrier will become useless I. mordern warfare.

Aircraft carrier was useful in world war 2 because there was no missile in that era. You'll have to get a submarine or bomber close to it to destroy it.

But with the rise of different type of missiles, one push if a button from a missile silo somewhere in Washington or Moscow and the shit will be blown out of water.

OhBritannia:
I don't know if it's true or not.
After Halland spends two years in Manchester city, his released clause of 150 million pounds can be triggered.
This is the clause he signed in the contract according to tribunal, which means he will want to join a particular club he has in his mind after two years in Manchester city.
He could be Barcelona or real Madrid, we don't know but the clause is there in the contract.

That was the nonsense he wanted to insert in his contract that made Man united to back out of signing him in December 2019, before he went to Dortmund.

raumdeuter:
On money vs power

Can you put this the former conversation of Putin vs Roman and other Oligarchs

Russia and China are different beasts compared to democratic countries of the west.

The west tried to use that thinking of the Rich controlling the Political class in their won country and tried to use that against Russia, by sanctioning Russian billionaires. And the fact that it didn't work only point to the fact that the political class controls the rich , just like it's happening in china.

saintkeppy:
Nice mansion though.

Monaco is one of the choice destinations near France and Europe in general.

In runtown's voice:
"Me and you for Monaco living La vida Loca
Me and you for Miami living La vida Loca
Girl you bad and you know that I fccuk with
You cause you are loyal cause you are loyal"

It's a tax Haven bro. What do you expect.

It's one of those places just like Cayman Islands, and co where billionaires and politicians stash there money there tax free

ChristoBam:
80m, 350k wages. Never wants to leave Barca and has not even been pulling trees at Barca.

Typical United signing. Don't be blinded by any Ajax connection.

Another potential Di Maria, where the selling club forces the player out to make money, but the player himself is not keen on joining Man united and was not entirely ready to leave the selling club.

We've been here before, sadly.

*Sigh

donstan18:
Do you know why?

Yes.

Those billionaires mostly buy out both sides of the political divide. Whichever side wins, they end up doing their bidding, with the billionaire making little compromises depending on which side of the political divide won.

donstan18:
Lol. Leave them nh.

Make Dangote or other billionaires criticize the government publicly if e sure them.

Tbf, billionaires both home and abroad don't criticize politicians or dabble into political discuss publicly. They do their talking behind the scenes.

The first billionaire that will be doing so in recent years is probably only Elon Musk

Kingsnairaland:
USA has 800 military base to maintain it cost more not that they do military research more than Russia get your fact straight.

USA military budget is like Nigeria's budget. They will quote trillions in the budget but 70% of that big money goes to recurrent spendings, that is, paying of salaries and feeding of their large Armies spread across the world and to maintain equipments, while a tiny amount end up going into Capital spending (Military Research and development ) . Even out of that little sum for Capital spending, most of the money are also over inflated by the military contractors like Boeing, Lockheed Martin etc, who will give kickbacks to senators and government employees that facilitated those contracts for them.

That is why USA will tell you that they developed a new weapon for 10 billion dollars, whereas, Russia will do the same weapon of equal capability with just 100million dollars.

What is happening in USA is just the usual over inflation of budgets that happen in most capitalist countries.

Neddstark:
Russia that is presently seeling weapons to India and China running out of weapons? This Ben Wallace no sabi lie.

Even while fighting a war, Russia is currently still supplying it's customers their shipments of ordered weapons. Na this kind country that is running out of weapons?

That UK official dey ment..

Two countries I know that can't run out of weapons are USA and Russia. Those countries produce weapons in a daily basis more than they produce food. It's the lifeblood of their economies

Eriokanmi:
He must be of Chinese ancesrry. See his face. Rip young man

Russia is like 70% Asia , 30% Europe in terms of land mass.

They share border with China and a lot of Asian. countries. It's not out of place that their will be cross border marriage and breeding, as well as migration between Russia and China.

andrewbaba44:
Insigne ,smh

No wonder he won’t play for a top club

Little details like what Insigne usually do are usually noted by big clubs when scouting players and those things are parts of reasons they don't sign some players.

Even Fernandes of Man Utd that likes spamming useless passes and wasting possession has been noted by the scouts and it was why he wasn't signed in the summer of the season that he was eventually signed.

Mac0:
Some of you are taking this NATO vs Russia argument a bit too far.

Both Russia & NATO don't give a flying f*ck about Africans.

Africa is a stretch too far. ,

Both of them don't give a flying f*CK abt Ukraine itself.

It's all about Battle for supremacy and influence in Eastern Europe.

mostob:
I hate to be pessimistic but this is a tough group and it will be a miracle if we advance. I hope the girls prove me wrong.

It's a youth tournament. The pedigree of the senior team of those countries don't usually count. Results are usually not easily predictable

50d33q:
Immediately Madrid score the third they brought in ceballos, asensio and valquez
The only defender he bought on was just to replace injured militao
Don't worry agenda must agend

Exactly,

Infact Peps mistake yesterday was going defensive with Fernandinho instead of tightening the noose on real madrid when he had the upper hand

ChristoBam:
Imagine Camavinga decided to come to United. Don't think we can win transfer battles with this teams anymore.

And now Madrid are already preparing to sign Tchochameni again .

Modric, Casemiro and Kroos are still playing at the top of their game, yet Madrid are already preparing for life after them . That club is so organized. No wonder Barca can't even catch up to them in Spain.

Mrviktor:
Madrid have won d league..

No need to play anymore football with the first team

Chelsea is almost certainly guaranteed top 4.

It's Liverpool that has like 5 or 6 finals to play.. Every game is important..


I want dem to loose it all sha.
Epl
Cup.
Champions League

2002 Bayern Leverkusen vibes.

They were in contention for league, domestic cup final and UCL final and somehow lost everything and went trophyless for the season

The only difference with Liverpool us they already have a league cup.

Invitationn:
Depends on how you see it.
Putin's words; "If th fight is unavoidable, hit first".
It could be a trap like you said, but there's a bigger trap if he doesn't take the pain of this small one.
It's easier to fight Ukraine as a non-NATO member state than a Ukraine covered by NATO's article 5.
That's outrightly WWIII.

Absolutely.


It's called strategic thinking.
Putin simply took the less bitter of the two pill.

Russia is not dumb. I'm sure their intelligence analysts have analysed the whole scenario and outcome before going down this patg

Guyman02:
Canada is trying to deny him by claiming he has a sexual assault case to answer and was on the run and fled to Ukraine (a war zone) of all places. This is why the western media was claiming that thousands of civilians were holed up in Azovstal and UN should evacuate all of them

That place might actually be their base of operation where a lot of the so called "mercenaries" operate from.

Russia knows that and that is why Russia wants them to surrender, probably to torture them for information and to expose and shame the west as well as a useful propaganda tool to score a win against the west.
Russia could have easily taken them out and end the Mauriopol saga by carpet bombing the whole hide out, but I guess the Russians themselves knows that what they are fighting is also am information and propaganda war against the west, so they need them to be captured alive for information.

Smart from the Russians

subsidywise18:
1.The guys's name is Trevor Cadieu, not Kadier.

2.He was supposed to head the Canadian Army, but was forced to resign after getting into trobule over historic sex allegations.

3.He retired on April 5 and then ran to Ukraine to 'volunteer'.

4.I suspect he was taking part in the battles, not heading any biolab. If there was a biolab, it would have long since been closed

5.Anyway, he is a merc. He would be treated as one, I daresay.


FOR MORE ON CADIEU CLICK HERE

This is a very convenient back story for the high Ranking general so as to afford the Canadian government plausible deniability in case if capture, because technically, he's not supposed to be there as a serving military member of a NATO country.


I'm sure the Russian government won't buy that story because that is what the Russians themselves do from time to time when they want to send someone undercover. Heck, Russia themselves did the same thing in the Donbass region before the official invasion, when they send in Russian army service members as mercinaries to fight as militias, so they know the game

The thing is that 90% of those "mercenaries" in Ukraine are active service members of various NATO countries, who when you check their stories, they will tell you that they are dismissed or retired service members

patrickmuf:
That guy will move with the ball towards Shaw before releasing the pass...I died severally watching him.

Maguire's ball playing ability is a myth bro. He's not a better passer than Rudiger or Varane.

Lindelof is even better than all of them at doing it

Varane and Lindelof practically passy comfortably at any angle with both feet and I've seen Varane do long passes with his left foot several times.

But Maguire can never attempt a pass with his weak foot. I wonder how he got that tag of a good ball playing CB

kellybently:
What ll be the impact in stock market. Will it cause a big surge up or dip down

Since it's going private, it won't be on the stock exchange any more, I think.

LincolnOnyeabor:
In all honesty, I don't think this will pan out well for The Twitter community at large. Cause the way and manner he went about the proposal and it's acceptance was like coercion than freewill.

Well, all is fair in love, war, and sometimes business so let see sha.

Crypto community what do you guys think??
Is this a good thing, a bad thing or you're undecided??

In corporate business world, what Elon did with Twitter is called hostile take over. It's nothing new and it's not unethical.

Hostile takeovers is always possible in shity and underperforming companies. Twitter over the last few years have been loosing value massively and will continue to do so over the next year due to its political issues.

Twitter's shares were actually dropping. Musk buying it was a way to provide an exit dir shareholders who were already loosing money

rottennaija:
This could well be a publicity misdirection by Russia

Another angle as well.

The point is that it's a non news.

The news is as useless as the letter P in Psychology.

These guys have assess to the best medical personnel, facilities and care, so they are not dieing anytime soon like some people would have hoped for, unless they are deliberately murdered.

SmartPolician:
I consider Elon Musk the most innovative man the world has ever known. One man: SpaceX, Boring Company, Tesla and now, Twitter! Jesus! Well, I didn't know that Jack Dorsey was going to sell this company. Indeed, impossible is nothing.

BTW, Elon Musk should do more of charity than buying up every forward-looking company. There comes a time in a man's life that he has acquired so much wealth that he cannot even finish in his lifetime. Be like Bill Gates and help millions of hungry ones around the world.

Dorsey sold the company a long time ago. He's. just a figure head board member these days. Man only has like 1 or 2% stake left in the company. And it will come to 0% after Elon Musk buys the whole thing, thereby kicking out Dorsey finally.

Most world leaders who are of advanced age like Biden, Putin, Buhari, etc are battling one illness or the other due to old age. It's normal. And it's nothing out of the ordinary. The west knows this, they are just grasping at straws to make headlines these days.


It seems the news reportage on the war has now slowed down with nothing new to report. The media are just grasping at anything to make news headlines for the Ukraine war.

50d33q:
No bro
Diaz is less than 50m, he was a nobody until lfc got him. They got richarlison for 50m and Rodriguez with breaking Bank

Diaz won't choose Everton, if both Liverpool and Everton gave him an offer.

Moreover, Everton can't get to the top buying 50m players. They will need a Saudi kind of money to buying expensive and experienced players from top clubs, who will probably also demand high wages. Just like what Mancity did in 2008 2009, buying top players who needed pay rise from. the top clubs in Europe, as well as beefing up their scouting network for good average players to help complement those big and experienced players, as well as a good coach is also very important.

Man City hired the likes of Pellegrini, Mancini, etc back then. Both world class coaches of those periods. Everton started well with Ancelotti. but they should have gone for another top class coach like him after he left, instead of going back to hiring those regular shit coaches again.
