Twitter shrunk its staff by 3700, many of whom left of their own volition. Examples of some companies that cut more jobs then Twitter that nobody seemed to givr a damn about: Amazon 27k Meta 21k Accenture 19k Alphabet 12k Microsoft 10k Salesforce 8k Disney 7k Dell 6.6k

I guess the people working at those companies just don't matter huh?

I don't see any other billionaires fighting for basic human rights like free speech other than Elon. He doesn't have a perfect track record on that count but it is better than the flat 0 of the rest of that clique.

Ask people from India or Turkey what they think about Elon fighting for free speech. Especially after he said, "By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law." Which means he's all in favor of what North Korea considers free speech.

Because you aren't worth it. You clearly ignore evidence being placed in front of your face so there isn't a point. Literally start googling about his management of twitter, all the evidence is there. But you won't

You should really learn to separate claims with actions. Musk likes to claim he fights for free speech (well he used to, for some reason he hasn't really talked much about it lately), but he has not only done nothing in favour of them but actually opposed it during his ownership of twitter.

Also, I don't know what kinda gotcha you think you have with those layoff numbers. It is as if you think that people here just love all those other corporations and only hate Musk, when that is the opposite of the truth.
