Some of us like to work, eat, and make money. Before Musk, there is no way I would have offered any alternative view. Now, I can speak freely. Anyone complaining is more vested in politics than software.
In the morning, Slack was filled with people showing off their morning run, coffee on a table, you name it. Nothing about what needed to be accomplished. I mentioned it in a stand-up, and was told to spend time reflecting on my position in the company. Certain people were allowed to code outside of the 'standard', and if you spoke about it, it turned into an intervention.
That does sound messed up -- it's one thing to be ignored on an issue like that but to be fired yourself is kind of crazy. I guess it's good to have friends in high places....
Speak freely about what? You think these random printout code reviews would spare you just because of your political views? That would imply Elon's Twitter is still more vested in politics than software.
