X, the social network formerly known as Twitter, is facing 2,200 arbitration cases that ex-employees filed after Elon Musk took over the company, slashed headcount, and made other sweeping changes there. The filing fees alone for that volume of cases could amount to $3.5 million.

The arbitration numbers were revealed in a new filing out Monday as part of a lawsuit in a Delaware district court. The case is Chris Woodfield v. Twitter, X Corp. and Elon Musk (No. 1:23-cv-780-CFC).

As CNBC has previously reported, many large corporations require workers to sign an arbitration agreement upon employment wherever it is legal to do so. This means to speak freely in court, where their speech can become part of a public record, workers would first need to get an exemption from a judge.

You're trying to say a website has more technology in it than a microwave oven. A technology that helped create radar and led to massive increases in multiple areas of science during and after WWII.

And you're calling me a 5th grader.

Your comparison was between "my microwave" and "Twitter". Not only that, but you tried to reduce Facebook and Instagram also, platforms that deliver personalized content to hundreds of millions of people, to "just websites".

But that's not why you look like 5th grader, it's because you'd rather call someone dumb a bunch of times than explain what you mean. You want to do a whole melodrama to feel like you are smarter than whoever you are talking to, all the while saying nothing of substance. Really, you only proven that you are a tiresome person to talk to.

Love how you're ignoring everything I say about technology.

I did call you dumb though. Since that's what you want to focus on now, because you're obviously wrong about the technology in question. I'll call you dumb again and again. I have you tagged as "incredibly dumb" actually.

Because going by what you've been saying it's true. You are incredibly dumb. Do your friends and family know how dumb you are? Do they have any idea, or have you been able to fake being almost normal your whole life?

Look, I found your original point interesting, but if there was a major upset in the microwave industry, then that would belong in the technology section of a news site too.
