  > i think anyone that chooses to work for that [expletive] anytime soon is by definition not "good people" Why not? Twitter is at an exciting turning point (that might end well or bad, but still exciting) and working on the solutions they implemented at scale is something that many engineers are interested in. Before the layoffs, a number of top engineers publicly announced they were leaving Twitter because they not comfortable working under Musk or returning to office, suggesting that there currently might be openings at a very senior level, which, again, is appealing. Musk himself is a controversial character (who I don't personally like), but he isn't a criminal or a dictator and I don't see pressing ethical arguments against working for a company he owns. > and a platform that he's actively trying to modify to support racist, and anti-semetic speech When did he say that he specifically wants to support racism or anti-semitism on Twitter?

    The post you're replying to is just trying to get around HN's rules for calling people a racist or anti-Semite directly. So instead there's two groups of people, and one thinks this, and I'm not in the other one... The post is shameful, should have been flagged, and is definitely not worth your thoughtful reply. But thanks for posting it anyway.
