He's been tweeting random memes and joke content for many years. The only thing that changed recently is he said he might vote Rep rather than Dem.

Musk was a fool for bringing politics into this. But its also pretty dishonest for employees to claim to feel intimidated and bullied just because he's considering endorsing a different political party.

You aren't engaging in argument, you're just doing this childlike back and forth of "Yes I am!" "No you aren't!".

Yes, actually, you're right, at the same time my comment is upvoted pretty well and yours is greyed, which pretty much sums up HN in [current year].

Your snark makes no sense. Are you saying Elon is a small group of people?

Clearly I was talking about the group who sent out the unsolicited internal letter in work channels.

Musk is the one doing the distraction.

You don't have to follow Elon's Twitter.

However you do have to be in work channels, and this group of people sent the unsolicited letter in those channels.

And now we're all having to talk about the letter.

Musk's behavior and actions directly impact things like hiring, employee retention and more

You can argue you don't have to follow Elon's twitter, but when you try to hire someone and they quote Elon's behavior as a reason why not to work for your company what do you expect?
