The difference is that Twitter didn’t ban conservatives for their political views but for violating their terms of service. In Trump’s case that was continued calls for violence and election interference, more than a hypothetical concern after his followers made an unprecedented violent attack on the U.S. electoral process. As you can easily verify, most conservatives were never banned: the people who were banned made repeated, deliberate violations of the legal agreement that they accepted.

How big is their network so far?

I don't know US commutes, or US geography too well. But it seems these two locations are about 45mins-1hr drive from each other. Where do folks actually live in those areas? Is it that a 30min drive north to San Fran becomes a 30min drive south to San Jose?

If they relocate engineers to Palo Alto, that's halfway between San Francisco and San Jose. And a lot of engineers (not necessarily at X but in general in Silicon Valley) live in the suburbs between SF and SJ already. It might be mildly less convenient for some, but also mildly more convenient for many.

Doing this on a few weeks notice seems rather insane to me. Unless you have very good remote work options this is very disruptive for employees.

probably got kicked out since Elon did not want to pay rent. Maybe the locks got changed.

Why would X have gotten kicked out for unpaid rent?

The building manager stopped any and all proceedings against X for the two months of alleged unpaid rent.

It is the same thing. Not political, but as far as I know the previous guy didn't whine as much about free speech while not being free speech as the current guy.

Also free speech in law just means you can’t be prosecuted to say stupid things. It doesn’t mean that anyone owes you the canal to say your stupid things.

The previous twitter had (somehow) moderation. You would think what you want about it but you were free to use your free speech right elsewhere.

The difference is that Musk says that it gives you this canal but he lies because he is still moderating the network, except the moderation now favors far right content.

That’s not more free speech than before, that’s just a pro-fascist moderation.

I cannot understand why anyone would work there, especially in office. but each their own.

I have him blocked but the CEO has 200 million followers. Even assuming 20% are real people, I'd imagine there's quite a few of those who'd love to work at his company.

Why do you have him blocked, and just not following him?

Not for Elon or Trump? Say more insane things (which gets normies banned), get more money.

That’s the “reverse proportional” part of the GPs comment.

ah yes, I read something different. yep, agree.

Because San Jose is the home of Bad Boy Bail Bonds!
