If you read the rest of my comment, I don't actually have a problem with accusing people of war crimes. I think it's assinine to think one could do so and hope to continue to be paid by those people though. I would think that someone so ready to stand on this moral high ground wouldn't want that money but I guess when it actually comes to backing up her morals, she'll take the money instead.

It's not an accusation.

Your critique only makes sense if she's working for the DoD, or negotiating those contracts for VMWare, or VMWare's business is significantly DoD contracts, none of which are true.

  Why does it have to be a significant part of VMWare's business? DoD money is flowing into her pockets and she's fighting to keep it that way.

    The DoD also performs public services that ostensibly protect her life and liberty at some level, and doubtless she doesn't disagree with those functions. The amount one benefits from an entity one disagrees with can be variable, and debatable.

So, free speech doesn't extend to criticism of the government? People should lose their jobs because they said mean words on Twitter?

  This is not about free speech, this is about company policy.

    On his private twitter? While NOT posting about the company at all? It was a customer of the company that got offended. Should he know every customer of the company? If the company has 1000s of customers, are they all off limits? Are you supposed to know who they are? If you work for AT&T and an AT&T customer (of the millions it has) is a jerk or you have some political disagreement with their views, do you get to tweet about it on your personal twitter account? Should they be able to complain and get you fired?

  You’re free to say funny words on twitter, they’re free to fire you for it. Everyone wins. Or you think you can be obnoxious clown without repercussions?

    > Or you think you can be obnoxious clown without repercussions? Seems to be working for Elon, tbh.

      If you're the owner of your company, the company won't fire you. You can still harm your company (and thereby yourself) by attacking your biggest customers on social media.

    Who needs government censorship when you can outsource it?

  She insulted one of her company's client. So yeah, you risk your job when you do that.
