    Anybody who's referred to Musk as a “free speech absolutist” and not as one of the most ruthless opponents of free speech in generations is a liar or a mark https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    More Twitter employees are publicly criticizing Elon for making up stories about how Twitter works and getting fired. It's becoming a wave of mass insubordination with Twitter engineers going out in a blaze of glory. Every time I think this acquisition can't get worse, it does. h…
