It’s not clear to me what they’re agreeing with him on?
- That employees have no right to know whether or not they’re employed?
- Or that employee private medical information should be allowed to be disclosed publicly?
This whole thing started because Twitter’s HR couldn’t tell this person if he was or wasn’t employed by Twitter. He guessed the only way he would get an answer was to publicly ask Elon on Twitter. And guess what, he was right! That indeed turned out to be the only way to get an answer.
Elon further decided to commit a bunch of privacy and employment rights abuses but fundamentally it was simply a question of an HR dept that didn’t know who it employed.
- piva00 4y agoI think "agreeing" was the wrong choice of words from me, I'm sorry, substitute it for "egging on" or "supporting". They're literally followers, if Elon said/did there's a good reason for it. As classic as it can be for a cult of personality.
- rsynnott 4y ago> It’s not clear to me what they’re agreeing with him on? They're agreeing with him that he is the infallible Dear Leader, pretty much. The Musk following, at this stage, is a full-blown personality cult; what Musk is actually saying/doing is rather beside the point.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoYou say that, but I'd bet that if he started tweeting responsibly and acting respectful his followers would quickly lose interest.
- rsynnott 4y agoI'm... not sure, and it would arguably be an interesting social experiment. I'm struggling to think of anyone who accumulated this degree of blind adulation and _did_ act like a normal, reasonable person; maybe being an arsehole is actually an entry requirement.
