Crash a 44bil company - speedrun any%
I know what a speed run is, but what’s an any%?
It’s how they categorize different run types.
“any%” means you just need to “beat” the game, you can use glitches and whatnot.
“100%” means you need to collect all things, unlock all of the things, or hit all checkpoints, whatever “doing 100% of the game” means for that game.
There are also “meme” catergories for some games like “sex%” in Bauldur’s Gate 3, where it’s the fastest time to have sex after starting a new game. Right now it’s just over 2 minutes.
Any % just means that you wouldn’t have to collect all collectibles or complete all side quests.
Did he think everyone was going to just say “ok :(” and walk away?!?
He probably intended to do the trump thing - wait for them to sue, and then just use his wealth & influence to make the cases languish in court forever, until the plaintiffs were too broke to continue.

One of these suits, filed earlier this year, invokes an arbitration clause in employees’ contracts that, according to Mashable, leaves Musk’s company on the hook for $1,600 in arbitration fees per two-party case, but only requires that former employees pay $400. With over 2,000 cases, the social media network’s arbitration bill alone comes in at nearly $4 million.
**X has reportedly refused to pay those bills, either—arguing that it hasn’t required the former employees to move their disputes to arbitration. Now, ex-staffers have filed another lawsuit demanding the company pay the fees associated with their original filing. **
X marks the spot of Musk’s downfall.
He’s fucked up almost as many times as the orange douchebag, somehow they slime their way out of consequences.
Well if they weren’t doing their jobs…
