This is the best summary I could come up with:
But I think it’s worth pointing out that this tweet is a brand-new level of BS.
Where was this unlimited legal defense fund when Elon Musk saw a man he knows personally firing seven engineers for criticizing their employer on Twitter?
One more tiny thing to point out: do you really think the guy who refused to pay Twitter’s rent in more than one city and left African employees without severance pay and was facing $14 million in lawsuits over unpaid bills and missed his first revenue sharing payments has an unlimited legal defense fund sitting around?
You might also note that the man who promised to rid Twitter of bots and make it a free speech platform and a public town square seems to have had the opposite effect.
But I respectfully submit there’s a chance that, like his entire $44 billion bet on Twitter, those were just Musk utterly out of his depth.
But he didn’t really just forget firing Eric Frohnhoefer, Sasha Solomon, Yao Yue, Nick Robinson-Wall, Jesse Feinman, Billy Becker and Lana Nelson over their tweets and retweets, did he?
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
