Happens more often than most are willing to admit, especially lately.

In Canada, protestors had their bank accounts frozen for saying mean things about Trudeau. It's not exactly the same as your example but it does rhyme.

To elaborate, Linear is probably the best business app I have used for software management ever. For engineers it is fast and fluid and simple with outstanding keyboard shortcuts. …

In other words, taking a board seat would have limited him to holding no more than 14.9% of Twitter shares. Now he can take control if he wants.

I think it’s more likely that Elon wants to keep his options open. As a board member he would have a fiduciary duty’s that would prevent him from doing certain things. Most notably…

Paul Graham recently posted a bit of relevant Russian Propaganda on this controversial topic of supporting or fighting hatred and intolerance towards Russian people. I’ll leave it …
