I think I could not work with a boss I couldn't have a disagreement with. Just beeing a yes-man is not health for you, your boss and your work. Nobody knows everything better. Criticism is hard to learn.
I have 2 friends who work for Elon (in meetings with him regularly). You can disagree with the man. It’s allowed. You better be standing on solid ground through because the man is smart.
Also, I cannot think of many bosses who you could publicly disagree with on Twitter where being fired isn’t a likely outcome.
> You better be standing on solid ground through because the man is smart.
You act as if this makes him some untouchable gods. Recent events should have made it very clear that “smart” people can act like bigger idiots than your average idiot.
Ever see a shitty restaurant with a big sign that says "under new management"?
Things change, can't be a retirement home for millennials while losing money indefinitely. Twitter is in San Francisco, not Portland.
There is a good chance this company will simply run out of money and go bankrupt.
You could play the speculation game of whether it has a better fighting chance with or without Elon (people who don't like his politics and personality will no doubt take the opportunity to screech uninteresting things on this matter) but here we are.
If it doesn't energize people who work there and they want to throw in the towel that's alright. But people who stay need to be clear eyed that the road ahead is uncertain and difficult. Especially in this economy.
If you work for twitter the memelord posting things you find objectionable is the least of your problems. Not to mention highly ironic.
Fair point. Elon seems to apply very different measures what counts as free speech though, depending on how much he likes it.
If my work was criticised by my boss in public with objectively (very) wrong statements, I would criticize him publicly as well (depending on the circumstances oc).
I’m not trying to be the annoying source guy here, but can you share some examples of this so called Elon-centric definition of free speech? I would genuinely like to know if I am wrong about that.
I know you want this to be true but it’s not. All impersonation accounts are banned. Parody is fine. That’s consistent with how free speech in the US is enforced.
