>You should also be aware that you can't just fire someone because of their disability getting worse.

Never said that, don’t put words in my mouth. Just said if Twitter was essential to his retirement he should have had it as his main focus not tweeting about choosing tiles for his cafe in the same timeline he’s asking his boss if he has a job.

>he worked as a design director there for years.

What new design has Twitter shipped in 3 years? Sorry this all just looks like classic corporate complacency.

Twitter could both be essential to his retirement and also that he is fully fulfilling his job description while also choosing tiles for his new cafe. Part of acquihire is to make sure the people you just bought don't leave to start a competing company. Moreover, frankly, it doesn't occur to me that checked-out Jack or the chaotic Musk would even have the organizational capacity to ensure efficient use of the acquired resources, leaving the founder with free time. No doubt there's a significant clause in the acquihire that he can't leave for X time, and if his employment is terminated then he is owed Y money. That's just up to the buyers to ensure they know how to use their investment wisely, and I don't think they did, through no fault of the founder who made the excellent sale.
