As I've stated before, the hatred for Musk and the willingness by the tech community (not everyone) to demean his character and his company is mind boggling.
Didn't Apple acquire and rebrand Dark Sky?
Didn't Microsoft acquire Accompli and then rebrand it as the new Outlook app?
So why is Musk's acquisition and rebranding of Twitter despised?

Because Musk doesn't play by the MSM rules of covering for the left. Plain and simple.

I wonder how many people (tech bloggers and tech reporters) have complained to Apple for allowing the single letter “X”. Per Apple, “App names must be limited to 30 characters.” Source: https://developer.apple.com/app-sto...2.3.7 Choose a unique,just to game the system. I breezed over the info via the above link fairly quickly, but I didn’t see anything prohibiting the use of a single character as the app name.

It makes those that hate musk and Twitter look incredibly foolish…Until they lose all credibility.

I don’t have a problem with people not liking Musk. I really don’t, but dang…don’t “hate” the man because you disagree with his views, his way of doing things, etcetera.

Today’s generation is both frightening and sad because they can’t handle allowing someone with a different view than what’s popular to even have a platform to speak on. They take the “if you’re not with us you’re against us” saying to a new level. To agree to disagree to them is akin to allowing a suffering animal to continue to suffer instead of putting it out of its misery.

Well said as well as sad but true.

I never was a fan of musk either. But I’m indifferent to the whole musk/Twitter fiasco.

Don’t really care who people hate, but it’s weird and quite frankly pathetic to hate blindly and expect everyone else to blindly follow.

Kind of like this guy.

Thing is that’s pretty unsustainable and sooner or later they will turn on each other.

So, if I am following correctly, people who don’t like musk do so blindly? Not because of his apartheid baby life? Not because of his horrendous worker record? Not because of the rampant racism in his companies which has caused multiple ongoing investigations and lawsuits? Not because of the rampant misogyny in his companies also leading to multiple investigations? And most importantly…not because he safe harbors right wing people who post pedophile material on Twitter? It’s just blind hate right? Good lord. If you don’t know…keep quiet and listen.

The number of articles I could post are endless. In order to not be aware of who musk is you’d have to bury your head in the sand.

For a moment, I thought you were describing Meta, the Hollywood Film industry, and a few others. My bad…(laughing)

I knew my comments would get you riled up, but it's all in fun.

Well, I wouldn't live in San Fran with or without the X on top of the building. But have no problem with the X at all.

We all have our faults. Even you use the name Grover, but show Oscar the Grouch in your avatar. Just saying.

That seems personal. You must be really into musk. I should also have pointed out that my doing so is a positive, not a negative. Grover that is.

Unfortunately today’s generation can’t put their devices down long enough to comprehend being frightened or sad.

And I work in an office full of them.

At their desk, on their phones. Walking down the halls, on their phones. Walking across the parking lot, on their phones.
