>But Elon's hyperbolic tweets and offensive behavior don't actively hinder getting to Mars?

Mhhh... I don't think so. We should consider also the possibility that his activity in Twitter could be beneficial for the company.

In fact it could accelerate the process of sending him to Mars as soon as possible.

Everybody is happy, so... keep tweeting? ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Whether they are offensive is a personal opinion and it's fully your choice whether to take offense.

Personally I don't. I also don't take offense at anything Chris Rock or Ricky Gervais says. Others do take offense to what they say. That's their choice, their opinion, and not one that can or should be enforced on others.

But the point is his behavior causes problems and you're implying it's okay for him to act that way but anyone else to call him out is a problem. That doesn't foster good workplace values.

What those comedians say has zero effect on your career. Like it or not, Musk represents his employees. His childish babbling is actively hurting the reputation of the company these people work for. Thus, it is affecting their careers.

I'm not saying what they did is right or wrong but your outright dismissal of their (valid IMHO) concerns is missing lots of nuance.

To a degree only. Some speech is generally considered offensive.

I distinguished his hyperbolic tweeting and other public statements from his offensive behavior, such as his well-documented[1] misogyny and cruelty.

What they cite is not an example of misogyny. The pedo guy thing is beyond the pale, but he acknowledged that it was wrong and a mistake. What more do you want? The rest of their examples, who cares. It's tame for Twitter standards. The article's author sounds like a wokescold who has too much time on their hands.
