Elon isn't morally worse than my grandparents. It's currently much easier to rally people around things they hate than things they like or support. It seems like that was always true to a certain extent, but social media in particular has dialed it up to 11. Most of my coworkers and family define themselves by what they hate rather than what they like. I put a lot of effort into not going in that direction.

Did your grandparents buy a company and fire two-thirds of the empoyees, and then try to deny them severance?

[alweirjt]

Of course not. They never had the opportunity. If they had been born wealthy enough to treat companies like toys, they very well might have.

Of the things he's done that's actually one of the least questionable.

Twitter was going to have to fire those people soon any way due to not making enough money to keep paying them and they've gone on to do better things any way.
