      Freedom of speech as long as you don’t criticise him or disagree with him. Not exactly freedom is it now?

      And hard to apply professionalism to him, as he’s essentially a rich toddler throwing tantrums.

      Not sure what his contribution to academia is to be honest.

        If he were racist he’d have been cancelled long ago. But cos he’s a transphobe and exploits his workers it’s considered freedom of speech and business as usual. I imagine his money doesn’t reflect his thoughts when it’s just him and his pillow trying to sleep.

          He ain’t getting cancelled even if he showed his racism. Too many fans that lap up his every thought and being the CEO of a massive social media platform reaffirms his presence.

          He’s got a cult following now so no getting rid of him unfortunately.

        Techbros like Elon are why I like to work boring tech jobs.

          He’s not even a proper ‘techbro’

          All he has is ideas and money. Very little tech skills and knowledge AFAIK

      Freedom of speech doesn’t have to stop people from hating you. Enabling transphobia is worthy of all of our hatred. Opinions on trans people are invalid. We just are who we are. Fuck him and his dirty money. My old boss had a tesla. I called it the big ipod on wheels. He wasn’t impressed.

      I guess the Musk bots are out in full force.

      Not even going to humble you with a response. Go back to licking his boot.
