The Elon Musk post in relation to Paul Pelosi..will destroy his business.

22. Well, Stuart, I will agree on the whole Musk issue. The man is a sociopathic dirtbag

who surely should be held accountable for his destruction of a decent company (Twitter).

But here's the thing I think about:

In 2021, Twitter had 7,500 people working for it. People just like us. Working schmucks who need to put bread on the table, service whatever debt they have had to occur in the utopia of predatory capitalism that is today's America. Now, due to Musk's criminally sociopathic management, as of January this year, Twitter is down to 1,300 active, working employees, including fewer than 550 full-time engineers.

What this means is that since Musk slithered into the Twitter headquarters carrying a sink, of all things, 6,200 people have lost their jobs, at least temporarily, and have to suffer the upset of leaving an operation they believed in, and even loved, to find something new.

We also need to be mindful, lest we make the mistake of wishing Tesla into bankruptcy just because the dirt-bag Musk owns it, that Tesla employs over 99,000 people. Wishing bankruptcy on Tesla because we dislike (quite rightly) Elon Musk could also destroy the financial lives of nearly a hundred thousand working people. Plus, many who work at Tesla probably got into it because they have the ideal of making a better world through decreasing carbon emissions. Even the simplest team assemler on the factory floor must take pride in doing their part.

I just think that wishing Tesla to go bankrupt because we don't like its owner could hurt thousands of working families, and have an adverse effect on thousands of other working families who work in businesses Tesla employees buy their stuff from.
