Killian told Davis that he would start getting the permits for Musk's restroom, but the suit paraphrases him responding: "We don't do that; we don't have to follow those rules."
Allegedly, he instead suggested Killian hire an unlicensed plumber to build the toilet since others wouldn't want to jeopardize their license by working on a project without a permit.
:melon-musk:
Musk wanted the facilities next to his office so he "didn't have to wake his security team and cross half the floor to use the bathroom in the middle of the night," the suit alleges.
this makes no sense unless he is worried about an employee stabbing him
He's extremely paranoid that's what is going to happen. Apparently when you move fast and break things some people may get it into their heads to break you back.
"Elon Musk stabbed to death by former employee" does have a nice ring to it.
"Elon Musk stabbed to death by automatic stabbing robot he had an unlicensed engineer build him because 'it would be funny to scare the interns with.'"
uncritical support for the techworker that takes one for the team and knifes him
Agent 47 sneaking into Twitter HQ to give him a swirlie when he goes to pee
Just piss in a bucket and make your employees dump it. Stupid ass billionaires damn
Retvrn to tradition and the Groom of the Stool.
The second paragraph made me laugh.
The Groom of the Stool (formally styled: "Groom of the King's Close Stool") was the most intimate of an English monarch's courtiers, responsible for assisting the king in excretion and hygiene.
The physical intimacy of the role naturally led to his becoming a man in whom much confidence was placed by his royal master and with whom many royal secrets were shared as a matter of course. This secret information—while it would never have been revealed, for it would have led to the discredit of his honour—in turn led to his becoming feared and respected and therefore powerful within the royal court in his own right. The office developed gradually over decades and centuries into one of administration of the royal finances, and under Henry VII, the Groom of the Stool became a powerful official involved in setting national fiscal policy, under the "chamber system".
Later, the office was renamed Groom of the Stole. The Tudor historian David Starkey classes this change as classic Victorianism: "When the Victorians came to look at this office, they spelt it s-t-o-l-e, and imagined all kinds of fictions about elaborate robes draped around the neck of the monarch at the coronation"; however, the change is in fact seen as early as the 17th century.
"It would have led to the discredit of his honour." Really?
"Honey, you wouldn't believe the size of the shit Mr. Fancy Pants took this morning. As big as a large salmon it was."
Conservatives claim that even the poorest among us live lives of luxury unimaginable to even the kings of yore.
LIES! If our lives are so luxurious now, then where is my shit valet?
That reminds me about Fox News ranting about "poor" households.
Techbros: "Sorry, best I can do is an always-online AI powered webcam that watches you shit to give you your horoscope. But don't worry, it's totally secure, it scans your anal folds to verify that only you can know your butt horoscope. The telemetry is stored in a plain text CSV on our unsecured servers, though."
A mark (as in con artist mark) talks to his app...
"AIpoop - why are you sending my private, personal data to the cloud without my consent?"
"All of your data is anonymized. We do this for quality control and review."
"How can it be useful for quality control and review if it's anonymized?"
"Yes."
"The King isn't well. He weeps mournfully for 20 minutes just to push out a shit the size of a small mouse. He can't even get started unless I push on his tummy."
"TREASON MOST FOUL!" :kelly:
"He can’t even get started unless I push on his tummy.”
And thusly the Custom of the Stool Push was born.
others wouldn’t want to jeopardize their license by working on a project without a permit.
Lol what? Just hire a licensed plumber and pay him well to keep it a secret. Unpermitted stuff gets worked on all the time.
At this point he'd probably tweet the plumber's address and call him a secret jew or something
The tweet might go: "Do not trust Saul Fischbein. He's a Jew and a very bad plumber. And here are his phone number and street address for science..."
And - of course - the tweet ends with Elon's signature - the lmao emoji.
Unbelievable. I dont believe he was concerned about waking his security .
Probably not concerned but I can see him not wanting to piss off the people that are supposed to look after him. If you got woken up every single night after night to hold someone's hand while they go pee pee you'd quickly start to get fucking pissed off.
So his concern was for himself.
“We don’t do that; we don’t have to follow those rules.”
I mean, he's right. Billionaires don't follow the same rules as us. It's just funny when one straight up admits it because of how stupid he is.
did we already know he was sleeping in the office? that's fucking insane, this guy is just at twitter HQ 24/7 posting all day
how do you not have an actual residence as one of the planet's richest people?
“We don’t do that; we don’t have to follow those rules.”
And if he says "I'm going to put 100,000 people on Mars by 2040." - who could doubt him?
“We don’t do that; we don’t have to follow those rules.”
Can't wait to live in a Martian paradise designed by this man.
