I hope you realize they're also out of line with Elon's eclectic libertarianism, and that those cultures not only disagree with woke employees but also with his 'free speech absolutism' and I hope Elon recognizes this because I have no interest in having American 'free speech' imported.
- olliej 5y agoElon has classic tech/rich person “libertarianism”. He has benefited his entire life by massive government support: his early money largely coming through growing up with access to what was essentially slave labour, to his modern successes in which he took massive amounts of money from the government, while also refusing to pay taxes. He demands law enforcement protect his interests, while intentionally and repeatedly ignoring the law himself. That is his “libertarianism” is a return to his heritage: he should be a part of a privileged society, where the core cost of keeping the country running should be borne by people have as few rights and resources as possible. Anything he can do to create his childhood utopia he will do.
- Dma54rhs 5y agoNo one is forcing German users to use twitter first place. Also your post reads awfully xenophobic.
- Barrin92 5y agoI don't think I was and I promise you my intent wasn't to be xenophobic. I make no judgement about how the US governs itself but it's important to point out, and Elon Musk has a track record of not understanding this, following the law and regulations isn't optional. And if I understood Elon correctly by the way, the reason he took Twitter over in the first place is precisely because he considers it 'the public town square' that everyone is forced to use.
