Sorry, another news from this asshole, but this is too much assholery to don’t be shared

Despite him being a shitty boss that fired employees that criticized him on twitter, he promised an “unlimited” legal defense fund to fight against employers that fired employees because of something they wrote on Twitter.

Under his tweet a lot of “verified” (=right wing) accounts plauded this and asked to fight employers who fired employees for having written something homophobic

    Fair play, he might have been like that before, I admit the guy is not someone I follow closely. I also never intended this to sound or mean that “trans people hurt him”, sorry about that. It seems that I’m drawing a false connection between his recent, to the best of my knowledge, bigotry, transphobia, homophobia and right-wing gusto and the split with his partner and their new partner’s identity.

    All I intended was to mock Musk for being the stereotypical macho asshole who can’t accept the end of a relationship with dignity. I apologise if it came out wrong.

    Still he can go fuck himself.

      I didn’t think you intended any malice, it’s just the way we frame things is important and our words have impact, which is why I pointed it out.

      next time you can just say that, it’s accurate and places the blame where it belongs!

      absolutely, I’m in no way trying to defend him here, it’s just about trying to focus on the right thing and not play in to already damaging stereotypes (the “gay/rans panic” defence is where this particular one ends up).
