Wait until you find out Henry Ford’s politics. Or Volkswagon’s history. Although obviously it’s not as bad as a man promoting free speech and criticizing postmodernism.
And let's not pretend Elon is sticking up for "free speech." He's censoring folks who don't agree with him. That isn't free speech, unless you subscribe to fascist definitions of "free speech."
I don't understand how people don't get this?
It's like saying "Trump's bad, but what about Thomas Jefferson and slavery!"
It just leaves people scratching their heads.
Really sad fall from grace for Elon. Could've just kept working.
In general, “past, extremely dead, person was awful; this excuses the current awful person” is _not_ a great argument. It also seems to be a fairly new invention; I’ve only really seen it in the last decade.
Not even going to address the free speech thing, except to say that you must be using a very 1984 “war is peace” sort of definition there…
He's running Twitter in a very erratic manner and demonstrating very poor judgement. It's completely reasonable not to trust someone like that with your family's safety.
What Elon has done however is put the spotlight on Twitter, almost every issue people have with it is a “preexisting condition”.
Musk revealed files implicating the FBI, CIA and Pentagon but oh my God he voted Republican so he’s evil!
