I don't think you actually do, there isn't even anyone to bother taking the time out to critique, mocking Joe Biden and Kamala Harris feels like bullying at this point, Jeremy Corbyn imploded, who even is there? You could've cited Obama but he's fairly moderate by your standards, Karl Marx is dead obviously...

What a strange and pointless post. You defend sex pests and ********* lol. Did you think Epstien was a stand up guy as well and just misunderstood or just born in the wrong era and if this had been 300 years ago he would have been normal?

This is true.

Comparing to the right which has Bojo, now trump (he was on the left but changed to the right and was about the same time he became a loon) , Ted cruz, Sean hannity, mitch McConnell, margie Green (who is doing a great job for science, showing us how long the body can last without a brain) , the hooker/gop girl, and now unfortunately Elon musk has joined the right because they aren't the "nasty" party, the list goes on.

Sad that these people are associated with us but one day we can get rid of them and have less people worth mocking on our side

You're right there, the homophobic comment was something else.

But it still stands, him buying Twitter because it is or should be the town square of the internet, isn't to say that he believes ignoring NDAs, spreading trade secrets or putting him in to bad light will be tolerated under "freedom of speech lol". You are conflating the two.

We aren't really going to know exactly what was said, but at least the report said some (not all) of the people involved with the letter were fired because they were pressurising others to sign it and their activism.

Be an activist on Twitter all you want, but it's different in the workplace.

It’s perfectly possible to be consistent here — agree with NDAs / not sharing trade secrets etc. AND accept that Twitter is in its rights to ban whoever it sees fit if they break its Ts&Cs.

The employees pressuring others into signing the letter may well deserve to be fired. The likes of Alex Jones and Trump deserve to be suspended form Twitter.

*change my mind.gif*

Depends what they were fired for.

If it was literally for saying mean things about Musk then it’s not consistent in the slightest.

How is it not consistent? Ones a forum, ones a work place. Ones a place to freely discuss things, the other is a place you turn up at a certain time and do what you're told.

His argument for free speech is in regards to Twitter, not his employees can potentially bad mouth him whilst he's paying their salary.

Depends how much you value freedom of speech.

Unless there’s a clause in the contract that says you can’t criticise the boss, why shouldn’t they raise valid concerns? And if there is a clause that they’ve broken, it’s the same as a ban for breaching Twitter’s ToS.

What if they posted their criticism on Twitter outside of working hours? :D

Bringing your company into disrepute is part of most people's contract
