Twitter plans to host Elon Musk for a question-and-answer session with employees

The article would be almost indistinguishable from a satirical article on a site like Fox News or Bablyon Bee making fun of the far left. They are concerned that Musk supports free speech and at some point "appear to mock gender pronouns"?

I've often though Musk is a bit out to lunch, but reading this it looks like Twitter employees (and I'm sure it's a tiny minority that are saying the things quoted) are going to get a dose of something marginally closer to the real world. I hope they can empathize what it must be like for the regular people working there that just want to do their jobs and not be subjected to radical politics.

Respecting people's pronouns in the workplace is the law in California. Intentionally misgendering someone or mocking their pronouns is clear-cut workplace harassment.

If there are “regular people” working there? Seems like a rather elite group. Unless Dorsey would own up to just hiring regular talent with regular energy and education.

There's a place where that doesn't happen?

That's one reason I'm self employed, but twitter looks worse than most. If there is seriously an apolitical software employer I would love to hear about it (I do know basecamp and coinbase)
