"Employees working on the project were told on Sunday that they need to meet a deadline of November 7th to launch the feature or they will be fired." Well I hope the meme that elon is some kind of benevolent and inspiring leader is truly dead and buried.

Have you ever thought for a second that you can’t trust the media? Or trust the word of a disgruntled employee who’s just trying to give a black eye to the employer who is about to let him/her go? It pretty funny watching the posts coming across this and other platforms thinking the world is ending because Elon comes out and says he’s going to make twitter balanced instead blatantly left leaning.

  That balance is going great given Elon's recent content on Twitter /s. "Blatantly left leaning" is a joke. My trans friends wouldn't receive constant drive by harassment if that were the case.

    Twitter is very left leaning.

      Again, why then do my trans friends experience regular drive-by harassment?

        Because everyone gets harassed on the internet, and your one anecdotal experience does not mean that Twitter as a whole does not have a left leaning political bias.

        But wouldn't a "blatantly left leaning" organization stop transphobic harassment?

I'm one of the more anti union posters on HN. If I worked at Twitter, I'd be trying to organize a union. First demand: No one gets fired when Musk takes one too many bong hits. Second demand: 99% of profits go to employee bonuses moving forward + 3x salary cap for execs. Third demand: Employees get to vote on the new "diverse viewpoints" censorship board membership.
