Yes, I know he<\/em> doesn\u2019t care about hypocrisy \u2014 he\u2019s just in it for the attention, and I guess I\u2019m giving it to him! But I think it\u2019s worth pointing out that this tweet is a brand-new level of BS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Where was this unlimited legal defense fund<\/em> when Elon Musk saw a man he knows personally firing seven engineers for criticizing their employer on Twitter? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Oh, wait, I\u2019ve got it backwards! Elon Musk was the man who fired those seven engineers. <\/em>It was him.<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Now, you might argue this is not quite<\/em> a new level of hypocrisy for Musk because he was also<\/em> the one who suggested that Twitter should NOT have a \u201clords & peasants system\u201d five short months before making damn sure that Twitter had exactly that<\/a>. You might also note that the man who promised to rid Twitter of bots and make it a free speech platform and a public town square seems to have had the opposite effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But I respectfully submit there\u2019s a chance that, like his entire $44 billion bet on Twitter, those were just Musk utterly out of his depth. But he didn\u2019t really just forget<\/em> firing Eric Frohnhoefer, Sasha Solomon, Yao Yue, Nick Robinson-Wall, Jesse Feinman, Billy Becker and Lana Nelson over their tweets and retweets<\/a>, did he? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
