No it's not, especially given Musks position and influence, and also hiring a supposed private investigator.
- ETH_start 4y agoYes it is. His position and influence does not preclude him from having spats on Twitter, that are obviously going to be taken less seriously than communications in other contexts. His behavior in the spat did reflect badly on him, but considering the kind of behavior that is regularly ignored and forgiven from celebrities still in the good graces of the social justice crowd, the insistence that it should lead to his social ostracization is insincere, and motivated by an ulterior agenda.
- someNameIG 4y agoHe is the CEO of multiple companies, the richest person in the world, not some random Twitter troll. His voice has far more impact and reach than most too, so what he said will be seen by many. Also many online places will get you banned for calling someone that in an argument. And what does the social justice crowed have anything to do with this? Bringing them up and their hypothetical behaviour is just some whataboutism, it's got no impact on Musks behaviour.
- ETH_start 4y agoHe is allowed to be human, and act in a personal capacity, with his personal Twitter account. People should be able to differentiate Musk the CEO fron Musk the man. Society doesn't need to be infantilized, with important people speaking like politicians lest they influence an allegedly impressionable and undiscerning public.
