Crazy. I've been a long-term Musk supporter (because of meaningful business targets: EVs and Mars colonization), but these recent events I cannot support. Laying off employees while not at the same time demanding Universal Basic Income on a state level (so that no single corporation is disadvantaged) is a death sentence to the worker population, and that, I cannot support. I'm out.

Did you support him when he was falsely accusing a rescue diver of being a pedophile?

That was the point the mask slipped for me

Mate, be willing to accept people when they finally change their mind. Otherwise they’ll find they might aswell stay in their echo chamber.

Namaste.

I do. And I agree with you. Doesn't mean my question isn't a fair one to ask.

I stopped being a Musk supporter when I found out he had a twitter.

I still think all of his companies are doing (to various extents) genuinely cool and useful things, but Musk in recent years at least has shown himself to be a terrible manager (not to mention a terrible person)
