Source?
While the layoff is immediate they reman employees with full pay and benefits until January 4. After January 4 they will learn details of their severance. The vast majority of these people have stock that will be redeemed for cash at $54 a share.
What is your source for this trash?

So if you are Robert Smith, and you decide you now prefer to be known as Bob Smith, you lose your checkmark? Even if you paid for it?

This is the whole issue I see with it: there is a Chris Evans who plays Captain America, and several other people of the same name.

If one guy decides he is the "real" Chris Evans and buys the checkmark - do all the other ones become inauthentic? :roll: Just because one of them happens to be the most famous?

If you don’t pay Elon 8 bucks a month, your tweets are suppressed and you’re shadow banned. That speech ain’t free.

Free speech, cheap!

Only 8 measly bucks a month!!

The guy who gives Trump bad legal advice chimes in, Elon responds.

Advertisers are allowed to make their own decisions. It’s part of that whole freedom of speech thing.

It's weird that they believe that companies don't act in their own self interest.

Perhaps I will try to force Tesla to advertise on one of my websites, and then cry foul when they don't.

Yes it's a part of conservative supremacist-victimhood.

Oh my goodness, they're taking they're business elsewhere!!!

IT'S ECONOMIC TERRORISM!!!!!

:problem:

They're not letting me do whatever I please, it's so MEAN TO ME!!!!

This is coming from the 'no shoes no shirt no service' / White-Colored signs people. :problem:

Apartheid Kids like Elon Musk and their WS counterparts in this country really do think they have a right to dictate who's allowed to do business with whom, and at the same time who they'll allow to sit at the lunch counters.

These stupid snowflakes like Elon Musk get really nervous and eliminationist when ANYONE counters them.

The new owner of the biggest social platform, who has a massive following, decides to chime in on the Eve of an important election, a week after he buys the platform with Saudi money.

Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.

Personal anecdote: ECONOMIC TERRORISM!!!!! A couple years ago, I had some person try to tell me that boycotts are ECONOMIC TERRORISM!!!!!! This was a white-aspirant ethnic-minority person who really came from the perspective that they better be grateful I even let them shop at my place at all, and they better, or else.

When I asked them their opinion of the Montgomery Bus Boycotts or the various boycotts of private companies with discriminatory lunch counter policies, they ditched the thread. :problem:
