Not sure why you would say that, I know he’s branded himself as a tech guy but beyond that nothing about the EFF seems to match his values.
The EFF tried to sue him last year too: https://www.eff.org/press/releases/judge-rejects-governments-attempt-dismiss-eff-lawsuit-against-opm-doge-and-musk https://www.eff.org/press/releases/judge-rejects-governments...
- junofan 6mo agoMaybe, I haven’t been keeping up since the cracker machine stuff. I thought EFF was a GNU-adjacent thing any generic tech person supported. I guess I was wrong.
- tgma 6mo agoThe GNU-adjacent thing would be FSF, and I'd say many EFF supporters are antagonistic towards the FSF (and/or RMS) because of their "extremist" stances. I'd characterize EFF as "corporate Open Source" vs. FSF/GNU "Free Software."
