People that Elon Musk has banned. Sure, Musk calls himself a “free speech absolutist” but he’s not. Anyone actually can ban people from non-government websites. Period. Here’s Mr Thin Skin
Tesla Fires Manager Who Complained About Elon Musk’s Nazi Jokes
Ottmann wrote in his LinkedIn post that “Tesla as a company has remained silent” and that Musk’s post of Nazi jokes “name drops genocidal assholes as a joke and has 308,000 likes.” The post has over 55 million views at the time of this writing.
“The silence from Tesla is deafening. What’s a mensch to do?” Ottmann concluded.
As the Times notes, Musk doesn’t tolerate dissent of any kind at his companies, despite often calling himself a free speech absolutist. Nine employees of SpaceX were fired in 2022 after the billionaire made jokes about the sexual harassment complaint against him. The employees wanted SpaceX to distance itself from the company founder, but they found themselves without a job.
Drop Kick Murphys, who I LOVE (“Shipping up to Boston” part of “The Departed” soundtrack) was banned from X on St Patricks Day. Incidentally, when did it become okay for ANY American to support or wink at Nazis??????
But he suggested the MAGA merchandise represented a “cult.” “This is America! There are no kings here!”
Dropkick Murphys frontman says band quit X in 2022, when Elon Musk ‘was only half a Nazi’
Massachusetts-based Celtic punk group the Dropkick Murphys have set the record straight after multiple media outlets reported that their X (formerly Twitter) social media account was disabled.
“We broke up with him first. We quit Twitter in 2022 when he was only half a Nazi,” founder and vocalist Ken Casey said in a statement about the social media platform’s billionaire owner. “Then someone else took our handle, pretending to be our official account, so we filed a legal complaint to put a stop to that—which is why @dropkickmurphys shows as suspended.”
“Look, we pulled our account because we didn’t want to be part of that guy’s empire. But if we were still on there, I’m sure he would have suspended us by now,” Casey said.
