Sure, but Musk is all about free speech and openness. If he is so confident in those principles, why need an NDA? If they are good ideas, it shouldn't be a problem for them to be in the daylight. Or is that, as he has proven repeatedly over the past few months, that it's only when those principles serve his philosophy that they are absolute.

Surely anyone can see the hilariousness of releasing people’s private emails and making a huge deal of it while threatening to sue employees if they release anything confidential.

I don't see a problem with differences in the standards for the service the platform offers to users and standards for employees of the platform in their internal operations. That seems totally normal. The same government entities tasked with upholding free speech keep lots of secrets too. It's normal. That tweet just comes across as a very weak kind of 'gotcha' moment with some moral outrage over nothing.

Is this supposed to be a sentence that makes sense?

Why are you talking about government agencies now? This is a private company.

Doesn't read like a gotcha moment or any outrage, it's just an amusing insight into Musk trying to control something he can't.

I mean if people have signed an NDA, then forcing them to acknowledge it again doesn't do anything. If they're willing to violate that NDA then they're willing to lie on an email to say they won't violate it again.

A finger wagging email isn't going to change anything.

I assume Musk and other CEOs just hate Fauci et al for making the proletariat realize Working From Home was viable for non-labor/service workers pretty much across the board.

Ask Musk why he requires all of his employees to be in the office.

Musk is just fishing for approval from his loyal rabble.

All of his fanboys are barely employable as it is. Musk telling the Twitter employees that they have to work in the office just rallies that follower base of his. The jealousy they exude that anybody could make a good salary *and* work from home *and* be employed by Musk is palpable. They would do anything to work for Musk (but lack any basic skills) and can’t fathom how anyone in their right mind would push back against his whims.

It's not great when you run a business with a bunch of factories.

Yeah, that's true, but for many of the types businesses employing white collar non-labor/service workers who can easily do wfh it offers lots of cost saving for the business and transferring of costs to the employee from the business, so it doesn't really seem like a proletariat win vs. the owner class kind of thing.

That’s really not Twitter. I guess if I could put my finger on it, HQ is prime San Francisco real estate, so it being mostly vacant could be a sore spot. It’s totally illogical though to need butts in seats there.

I still can't believe he fired so many people, then expects the remaining to live in the building. Like, does he understand people need social lives? Maybe family? This isn't some moonshot, it was a functioning company he blew up, then needed to #### over his staff to keep it running. He doesn't understand humanity at all.

Conspiracy theory of a conspiracy theory: the reason Musk pretended the Twitter files were significant?

Most likely: Throw the drooling masses that have the world “figured out” (Socially stunted conspiracy theorists) off his connections to Epstein.

Less likely but possible: Throw the drooling masses that have the world “figured out” (Socially stunted conspiracy theorists) off his true form as a lizard person.

In either cases, it’s hook, line, and sinker. Musk just fooled thousands of adult men living with their mothers into looking the other way.
