Like it or not, it's tech news. When Intel does something interesting, or Google wets the bed again, we'll talk about that a lot, then. Right now it's Elon doing dumb stuff. Last month it was spez. If we ban every hot news topic, what's left to discuss?
I was under the impression that this was a community to discuss technology, not one that discusses the business decisions of companies in the technology sector, and certainly not the decisions of a social media company that is only tangentially related to the technology sector.
Would not be opposed to a new community that focuses on the business side of tech companies!
Twitter isn't a tech company any more than Visa or the New York Times are. Twitter uses technology. They do not develop, produce, or sell technology products or services. It is a media company that sells advertising space and subscriptions, just like a newspaper, something no one would call a tech company.
