If this is true, could he get in legal trouble and be required to pay everything back?

I was wondering this. I imagine you could make a good case that they offered an employment contract, you accepted, and then they chose not to take advantage of your efforts for any tasks. I'd hope that if you could show that you acted in good faith and tried very hard to get them to give you work, then you'd be totally in the clear.

Why would the employee need to prove anything beyond having a contract?

This might be true, but I suspect it's fictional. Someone is trolling the twitter team hard though and I'm here for it.

Yep you’re right. Elon has already emailed HR asking to know who is on $153k.

But tragically, everyone in HR was laid off months ago. /s

You couldn't just shut up? This is internet addiction, you need attention from strangers so badly you couldn't just shut up about 150k your receiving for doing nothing.

Some people are claiming this is a "joke account", likely to be just an attempt at trolling Elon.

The multiple posts a day, essentially all saying the same thing, seems to support this idea - he's waiting for one to take off I assume.

I applaud him for sending Elon on a goose hunt. Amazing how you can occupy his brain with just a little trolling.

I was thinking this originally too, but now I'm feeling bad for the people actually in this situation (and yet not tweeting about it) who are going to get flushed out because of this
