I’ve seen this posted a couple of times in comments, it seems like a reasonable investigation in to the recent shit storm

I usually actively avoid engaging in anything to do with US politics as it’s pointless getting depressed by an awful situation I have zero control over; this post is not about fueling arguments or making us all feel worse, just determining if a useful tech company has gone to shit (TL;DR: probably not).

    We shouldn’t need to read tea leaves. He should come out and say, “I don’t support MAGA and their cruel attacks on minorities.”

    Same vibe as Musk’s “controversial gesture” where everyone was saying it was just an unfortunate accident. When Musk could have easily said, “I despise Nazis and everything they’ve done” afterwards, and didn’t.

      We wouldn’t need to read tea leaves if people didn’t go to Defcon 1 over a tweet. Political neutrality isn’t a bad thing.

        Are you genuinely not aware that Andy Yen produced more than just one tweet?

        And if that’s true, did you read the entire article that’s linked here?
