#2What always impressed me was the quality of the humor, like a young Chris Rock unafraid and insightful.

#4I've found @DEVOPS_BORAT to be funny too. Kept seeing his tweets for over a year or two; humorous ones about devops, from an imaginary Armenian devops guy with broken English. Seems to have stopped tweeting a while ago.

Why do you think SLJ was politically incorrect? He never said anything rude or ignorant.
He often tweeted about diversity and inclusion and coined the term "culture debt" for startups.
update: okay I think the words pc and un un pc have become meaningless because they mean too many different things.

I think OP was using "politically incorrect" in its original definition - i.e., speaking in a way counter to what's politically popular/accepted by the elite.
Which in Startup L. Jackson's case was definitely true - he called out a lot of the Valley's cultural myopia, excesses, and failures in a way that he would have been unable to do without the pseudonymity or pretense of satire.
Unfortunately the word has also been co-opted by some to mean "liberal" or "progressive", which is a shame.
