Dying platform.
Could be.
Haven't seen its replacement, though.

Don't really need one. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube are each about five times larger in terms of currently active users. Freaking Kuaishou has more users.

I never got into Twitter. Nor Instagram, for that matter.

Instagram? Same here. I have an account, but...
I find twitter good for catching latest news, interesting stuff, etc. I don't participate in many conversations, certainly not political ones.

You aren't missing anything.

I didn't think so. Didn't like the limited characters format. Short attention span theater. While my posts here are generally shorter than they used to be, I can complete a thought without multiple tweets. Besides, we've known each other for almost two decades. I think most folks can pretty well predict how I might feel about this or that.

The Musk post is specifically related to Scott Mineo and the Loudoun Love Warriors. Scott was a successful customer service rep and team lead for Secure Works. He started a side gig providing analytics and analysis of local government policies. He started coming after Biberaj and the Loudoun County Board in 2021. Over 2 dozen calls and complaints to his employer finally got them to release him, not due to his actions, but to end the harassment from the group.

I'll take your word for it, but how did Musk get involved?

There was an article posted a couple of days ago about Mineo, and Musk replied to it. I gather the response was so high that he decided to make a blanket statement.

What does it say if they hire him again?

I'm not sure what grounds anybody has to sue a private employer who fires them due to their political/cultural opinions, but if those grounds exist in the abstract, tasteless humor would be defensible. But it's never been my impression that private employers need grounds to dismiss you. There are only certain reasons they can't dismiss you. Opinions aren't among those disallowed reasons, as far as I know.

@Jon said in Musk: We'll pay for your lawyer:
How about violating rules of conduct that are written down and agreed to?
My point was that a private employer doesn't need grounds to dismiss you. Then I wondered whether liking a post on Twitter constituted some sort of protected action for which another general law prohibits dismissal. If that other general law exists, it might not be possible to sign it away in an employment contract.

In the case of the NASCAR driver he took a sudden lurch to the right which is never a good idea in that sport.
