He’s now complaining about cancel culture on Twitter, which is extremely political.

Not defending the founders, they sound like tools. But it's not hypocritical to be political on your personal social media but apolitical at work.

I think is hypocritical to think you can never "be political" at work. Work is where politics are the most prevalent and important in your life, work agreements, rules, benefits, compensation, processes. All political. It seems they're not banning external politics, they're banning internal dissidence.

He explicitly said that they were welcome to use some other platform, just not the company one.
