I think your comment illustrates why Musk gets away with it. The truth is so unintuitive that people who just read the headlines miss the real story. Musk knows the social media influencers, he interacts with Gali, wholemarsblog, and others regularly. AIAddict was part of that inner circle and was posting FSD reviews for a long time. He wasn’t fired until he posted the first known crash of FSD beta: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30235231 The message is clear, whether the order to fire him came directly from Elon or whether it came from the culture he set, only positive posts about the product are allowed. Gali almost lost access after something similar. |

Gets away with what? With being based?

So, ok, he is super-defensive of his products, fires employees who show his company in a bad light. So? I am sure you can dig up much worse on just about any CEO or person in power. It doesn't really say anything about how this will turn out for twitter. The real question is whether one man should be in power of a huge social media platform or not. To me, it doesn't matter if it's one rich fuck or a committee of rich fucks. The latter will tend to mediocrity and common denominator, the former may actually do something fun. He's been delivering so far. You know, fuck twitter, let's see it burn, or let's see it be something different, it's a cesspool no matter how you look at it anyway. I don't understand why people are so upset.
