Facts don’t have sides, and that’s all I’m hearing in the top post.

I was replying to "vile behaviour from Musk". There are many possible extra circumstances that would make it not "vile behaviour from Musk". E.g. it being someone under Musk doing the firing, the devs fired actually being grossly incompetent (I've met some really bad ones in my time), HR error leading to people being told they're fired but aren't, etc.
You've never been mislead by cherry picked facts out of context then?
Rarely, and only when I don’t verify such statements for myself (which is my usual practice).
Facts don't exist in a vacuum. And their context gives them a side.
