by California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing. In the suit, the agency alleges that minority employees were subjected to a culture of harassment and forced to perform dehumanizing, degrading work at the company's factory in Fremont, California. The lawsuit also alleges that Black employees were segregated to another part of the factory that employees sometimes referred to as"the monkey station" or"the slave ship" or"the plantation.
These words have violent meanings. Racial slurs are unacceptable because they are dehumanizing. They carry the weight of hundreds of years of inequality and abuse. They make people feel less-than and foster toxicity. Back in 2017, in response to a previous allegation of racial discrimination at Tesla, Musk wrote a letter, in part:"if someone is a jerk to you, but sincerely apologizes, it is important to be thick-skinned and accept that apology." He also added:"If you are part of a less represented group, you don't get a free pass on being a jerk yourself.
When Musk uses"free speech" as a defense for this kind of behavior, it shows he does not understand the concept. He's cloaking himself in the language of free speech to justify bullying the people who make his favorite social media toy. As a Twitter board member, he would have been limited in his ability to menace the company into behaving more like him. As the sole owner and power user, he would be free to do so.
It has taken years of failures for Twitter to separate the concept of free speech from the practice of moderating its platform. Now in comes Musk, hell bent on muddying the waters again for his benefit. Do not be confused. Whatever Musk is using his billions to do with Twitter isn't about high minded ideals, or making the platform better for users as a whole — it's about Elon Musk.
elonmusk's successful bid, you mean to say. Only chilling if you're hoping he'll go broke, want to regulate speech to your narrative, or you're afraid to attempt to misportray him in the future. You're afraid of your own standards applied against you. HypocriteNation
Like merrillcrookblodget
zero credibility
This is unfortunate. People with this much money think that they can avoid the rules and get whatever they want. I hope there will be ways in the future to prevent this from happening.
Oh, really? A chilling threat. 😏 So this isn't another 'fascinating cultural transition'? 🤡🤡🤡
Interesting you'd use the word 'chilling.' The chilling effect on free speech is what Twitter's censorship policies create and what elonmusk is trying to change. (Anticipating the '1st Am. doesn't apply' response, I'm talking about free speech principles broader than 1st Am).
Hypocrisy...
i think this s' diversion issue only
No, it represents change and freedom of speech.
I bet these guys hate Bloomberg, right?
You only want billionaires you agree with to be in charge
Nice try… we all now see you for who you really are.
We picking winners? What are the Vegas odds?
Funny, the left keeps telling people to 'Just start your own twitter/youtube/etc if you don't want to be censored, that's capitalism ' How about he just buys you outright... that's also capitalism you clowns.
'chilling'. Business Insider is a joke.
here for the L
Fake news 'business insider' 🤡 journalists unite
Wow look at all the lefties running business insider. I can tell because you are extremely hypocritical.
More like “Political Insider”, hypocrites.
STFU malditas payasas babosas
Media is already owned by billionaires. I would rather have Musk who can see how out of control censorship is on twitter. Hunter Bidens laptop. Case in point.
Insider is trash
What a difference 10 years makes. And you still all wonder why we don’t trust media and social media…
Ratio + L + 🤡
This u?
What happened to muh private company?
Ugh...
Business insider app and sub deleted. :)
Ooof, not a good look. Your bias is showing.
Man. Journalists really hate free speech.
What Elon Musk should rather buy himself, is an encyclopedia of existing human names. And then pick some for his poor children.
Nobody believes what you anymore
Would Twitter be as free as it is now if it was controlled by elonmusk
This you?
So the guy that believes in free speech is a threat 😂Well? Bill Gates, George sorearse, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey are just a few that have helped steal elections, steal countries with colour revelation, help digitally burn books and destroy freedom of speech.
As a licensed medical professional with a science based degree, the only thing Business Insider is similar to the inside of is a colon. The platform can be useful but is mostly full of shit!
HE MADE EV WHAT THEY ARE TODAY WITHOUT HIM THEY’D BE NOTHING.
Business insider just exposed themselves.
RATIOED!!!!
Hypocrites.
When Bezos did it with washingtonpost, you called it a 'fascinating cultural transition'.
Fuck never reading another article! TeamElon
Remember what you guys said about Bezos buying the Post?
Twitter isn't real life. If your business model revolves around random people typing on their phones...your business is dead.
Says the troll that runs “business” insiders Twitter account… time to drop business from your name and embrace your true self - hypocritesontheinside. Pathetic 🤡
Yet you were neutral when Bezos purchased The Washington Post. Hypocrites.
🤡🤡🤡🤣
Yes a chilling new threat to censoring of free speech by communist left.
Oh the Humanity! 😱🤡
This you?
Is this page's business hypocrisy?
Says the hypocrites who tweeted that “Jeff Bezos Washington Post buy marks a fascinating cultural transition in America.” Leftist hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Was this the same account or is this fake?
Musk Derangement Syndrome
All social media is owned by billionaires dingleberry.
Es más peligroso que las redes estén en la cámara de representantes de EEUU
Who are the trolls? Look in the mirror
When will you clean house business insider? You're reporting is just woke agenda repeating crap
Grow up.
We totally know this is not true, but I can’t wait to see where is this going!
They already do.... Washington post by jeff bozos
Com 54 bilhões dava pra abrir um novo aplicativo.
Those with money have controlled media forever and for the first time, one of those Billionaires is on the side of the PEOPLE instead of the media and their agendas. Yall should know all about lies and fraud and manipulation. Henry Blodget has been an expert on it for decades.
I am not worried. Elon is going to slap the shit out of the board when he buys Twitter. It will be glorious
elonmusk I'll take only 1 btc please.
Business insider is owned by Axel Springer SE which is in turn owned by KKR, a private equity and investment banking company with a net income of 4.88 billion USD for the year 2020.
Arent they already running social media. FB, Google, MS, they are all being run by billionaires and investment firms.
What about the Saudi prince and his country's record on human rights like homosexuals?
But... most billionaires don't invest in a company that's not making serious money in a field they control already...
Billionaire tech oligarchs, how novel. lol Good one.
Threat? What utter tripe.
Who owns Boston Globe? Who owns WaPo?
He wants to promote free speech, which is a good thing. Can't believe this has to be said.
Billionaires own social media already.
Bezos. Google. Zuck. ?
Some men dream of fortunes, others dream of Twitter.
You mean a threat to the establishment of someone who actually believes in free speech, respectful discourse, and hearing different point of views all with the goal of our society re-learning critical and objective thinking.
.....this is literally already the case
This is Capitalism! Elon Musk can buy whatever whenever Bring back Trump to Twitter !
You’re such a joke
And then there are those billionaires like mcuban who are using their billions to actually help people!
Isn't it amazing how Elon went from darling of the left to evil supervillain, simply for trying to defend free speech on 'the free speech platform'? The left literally hate free speech now. We see you, and the damage you are causing society.
ABSOLUTE MELTDOWN 😂🤣
Libs are lit. Business Insider is a joke
Look at all the mainstream media shitting their pants because no1 trusts them anymore & there's clearly a shift happening 😂 love it! History repeats itself: psychopaths think they can rule the world with their (unfair) rules -without consequences- until they realise they can't.
If he ruins the platform we’ll just move to the next new thing. Buying a website and turning it into an echo chamber is only good for one thing, killing the site. I just feel bad for all the ppl on here that have made a popular TWTR acct their entire personality.
It’s not new. Literally every major social media platform is owned by a Billionaire.
Would you rather the government run it?
The chilling threat is how news outlets, such as business insider, feel threatened because if Elon musk buys twitter free speech will be allowed again on this platform.
This is a threat to Communist propaganda.
