So there's this kid I follow on social media. I say 'kid', but he's like 35 or so, but I'd been following him on Twitter since he was probably 22 or so. Smart kid, funny, never really tweeted about politics, but just enough of a remark here and there to let you know he's a lib. But usually just tweeting funny jokes and stuff that had nothing to do with politics.
Well today he posts on Facebook that he deleted his Twitter account. He said he had to do it, the final straw was Musk firing half Twitter's staff. Tirade about Musk being a horrible human being with no heart, etc etc.
A couple of points:
1 - I did some checking, apparently the employees that were 'canned' today, won't actually be fired till February. But they will no longer work for Twitter, but Twitter will continue to pay them. Basically, Musk is paying them to sit at home for the next 3 months. Additionally, every lib business owner on Twitter will be tripping over themselves to try to hire these guys to 'stick it to Musk'. I mean if I had been 'fired' today, I would have immediately tweeted it out, said I was scared, confused, felt betrayed. Would likely have multiple 6-figure job offers by lunch, and likely multiple offers to stay anywhere I wanted for as long as I needed.
2 - But this is the one that gets me....These same people like my buddy that are so upset he deleted his decade-plus old Twitter account, but he seemed to have ZERO issue with conservatives being deleted off the site for the last 2+ years for no reason other than expressing an opinion that the 'woke' content moderation team didn't like. THAT blows my mind.
And again, this guy is as nice as they come, funny and smart as a whip. Anyone would like to hang out with him.
But add politics over it, and he becomes a self-centered asshole like every other Dem.
