Comment on Thread: Twitter Engineers Fired for Correcting Muskparent

Comments

He has every right, within the confines of the law, to choose how the company is run.

And because of that he shouldn’t be criticized?

Yes, Elon paid billions of dollars not to be criticized. How can I make this more clear?

If Elon didn't want to be criticized, why would he buy Twitter? It seems to me the consequence of buying Twitter would be to make him the most criticized person on the planet! To me it would be like me drilling a hold into my boat so it would float better.

How can I make this more clear?

Let me see if I hear you correctly, and then you can try to clarify. You're saying that Elon paid billions of dollars to buy Twitter so he wouldn't be criticized. Do I have that right? I think it might clarify things if you told me how you see that as an effective strategy. He may be able to prevent people from criticizing him on Twitter, but I think off of Twitter, people are going to continue to criticize him, so it seems pretty ineffective.

Also, can you tell me where you are getting the impression this was his goal?
