It must be pretty frustrating for employees to watch Mr Bossman lose the company $75 million because he just couldn’t stay away from antisemitic tweets, when any of them would probably be fired for EITHER a $500k mistake OR a hate tweet.

I guess hate speech really was Elon’s endgame all along. Being antisemitic on Twitter, with impunity, is the whole reason he bought it. The big idea.

I can’t imagine having such a petty, small dream.
