Nice that the tech industry finally finds out how the rest of the economy functions.
founder friendly != employee friendly
To be fair, everyone I know at a16z is devoted to free speech and they're excited about the opportunity to expand the user base by opening up the echo chamber.
And it's important to put the "work the rest to death" thing in context. In the past, Twitter workers were secretly video taped bragging about only working four hours per week.

Given one a16z VC gloating about it and praising Musk's "sack everyone and work the rest to death", I wouldn't be surprised if it's the billionaires co-ordinating.
It's not as though suppressing workers is new, and SV got co-ordinating their efforts to crush salaries.
