I would absolutely hire somebody who sued Twitter for failing to pay what was owed. In a heartbeat. I like working with people with character; you can trust them to let you know when something isn't right.

Similarly, I'd look very carefully at anybody who stayed at Twitter well into the Musk era. As I did people who were at Uber during the Travis era. Sometimes decent people have good reasons for working for bad execs. (E.g., I hear a lot of the SpaceX people see putting up with Musk as a necessary evil for getting to work on something they care so much about.) But sometimes they are clue-deficient or lack a moral core, and those people require too much close supervision for my tastes.
