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.

Crash a 44bil company - speedrun any%

I know what a speed run is, but what’s an any%?

Any % just means that you wouldn’t have to collect all collectibles or complete all side quests.

More specifically - see the credits by any means necessary.

You do not need to fight any bosses or even play the actual game, necessarily.

The Pokemon Yellow Any% never has you leave your house.

The Baldur’s Gate 3 Any% likewise doesn’t have you fight anyone important and is over in less than 5 minutes. (There are Act 2 spoilers. Yes, you can reach Act 2 in under 5 minutes.)

It’s how they categorize different run types.
“any%” means you just need to “beat” the game, you can use glitches, and skip large sections 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” categories for some games like “sex%” in Baldur’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.

Wait so they have sex on the Mind Flayer ship? How‽

Edit; Nope, it apparently just takes 32s to complete the ship level….

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.
