    It must be pretty frustrating for employees to watch Mr Bossman lose the company $75 million because he just couldn’t stay away from antisemitic tweets, when any of them would probably be fired for EITHER a $500k mistake OR a hate tweet.

    I guess hate speech really was Elon’s endgame all along. Being antisemitic on Twitter, with impunity, is the whole reason he bought it. The big idea.

    I can’t imagine having such a petty, small dream.

    It’d be a lot better if they would close their accounts on the platform entirely. Anyone still on the platform is fine sharing a room with literal Nazis.

    Its the dumbest thing. Like, say for a second they’re correct and the Jewish people really rule the world: how are you gonna succeed if you’re fucking with them?
