Stop with the nonsense. A CEO was fired. Nobody was cancelled.

> Most companies sell to both left-leaning and right-leaning consumers, but people only seem to get canceled over right-leaning posts.

Elon Musk smoked a single joint and his board did an executive reorg. Most CEOs keep their politics mostly private. What are you even saying?

What would the answer be if you replaced "canceled" with "fired" in my comment then?

But isn't he still the CEO?

The same. I wanted to correct the nonsense language. You'll note I used appropriate language in my response.

If he had been CEO for 6 weeks and did an unremarkable job, he certainly would've been. Given the fact that he made them a boatload of money, obviously they wouldn't fire him. If John Gibson had done anything of value and driven them to record breaking sales, they'd probably have kept him too.
