Anyone who is elated or upset over Musk taking over Twitter needs to get a life. There are definitely more important issues in life.
That's sort of like saying if you don't smoke weed, or aren't considering having an abortion, or don't subscribe to the idea of magic mushrooms for your sanity, then those issues shouldn't be of concern. The reality is that the man who led our country for four years basically ran it on twitter.
I generally think highly of Musk......but when it comes to some of his ideas about twitter, I can see where Xi Jinping gets off silencing people like Jack Ma, Jimmy Lai, Guo Wengui. It's hard to think that Musk could follow in the footsteps of Kanye........there's another thing to add to the list of weed, abortion, mushrooms....things I don't give a rat's a$$ about until I do.

Why be elated or upset about it? When individuals need to have Twitter for their “freedom of speech” platform, they have issues. When individuals get upset about what’s posted on Twitter, they have issues. When individuals use a platform like Twitter for their source of information, they have issues.The previous POTUS put nonsense out there on Twitter, just like many people do. If he indeed did run the country on Twitter as you claim, no wonder we had four (4) ****** up years here.

It doesn’t matter where they work from, or what their position is, or whether they have a work contract, each state has different laws when it comes to layoffs. California has a law that an employee must be given a 60 day notice when a company has over 100 employees.
Well that should keep some CA lawyers happy.

So people who aren't Twitter users don't have issues?

You sure?

I'm afraid I have to 'fess up to reading his posts this evening and he looks as though he's enjoying the palaver he caused. There's nothing like people who take themselves too seriously having the p!ss taken out of them. :lol:
