I thought Musk supported "free speech".
- clipsy 3y agoFree speech is when you say something Musk agrees with.
- blooalien 3y agoThus "free speech" being in "scare quotes". You're both right. ;)
- JackFr 3y agoThe specifics if this case notwithstanding (I recognize that communications about workplace conditions are protected), if someone was on a slack channel, bulk emailing other employees undermining and disparaging their manager, were asked to stop and they didn’t, isn’t that grounds for termination? They’re free to speak and tweet about it all they want. They’re just no longer an employee.
- AlexandrB 3y agoThey should have tweeted about it instead of using a letter, then maybe Musk would have funded their legal defense after they got fired[1].

- lokar 3y agoAIUI, if you want to enforce rules like that they need to be uniform. Eh you can say “business communication only, only email people who need to know, don’t spam, etc”. You can’t allow someone to sell Girl Scout cookies but then not discuss working conditions.
- ChatGTP 3y agoYes ;) Like when he threatened to sue people for not wanting to advertise on his platform.
