Gonna go be racist on Twitter so I can work at SpaceX

Headlines on this aren't making it clear. He resigned after a judge limited his access. Racist social media posts are not the reason. That was part of the interview process.

You’d think that would be a promotion, not a resignation.

He'll be shifted elsewhere within the fascist dictatorship.

Are we to believe that Musk (or his hiring team) didn't know about these posts on his own platform?

Or are we to believe that they knew about it and hired the little nazi shit, anyway? Because I'll let you guess which one I believe.

"anyway"? you mean "because"

Given that he seems to have fired anyone competent at the remains of twitter, potentially not

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 23 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

I wonder if Musk has any posts we should know about.

You mean the guy on international TV doing the Nazi salute?

[–] ooli2@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago

I heard there are video of him doing a nazi salute

given that he uses sock puppet accounts, as horrendous as his main is, can you imagine how horrible the shit he must spew on his sock puppets is?

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 4 points 3 hours ago

This is so obvious it doesn't even feel like it deserves a story.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago

You mean his bona fides?
