The number of people trying to defend what is, at best, extremely childish behavior is fascinating to me. Would you really go up to your city counselor in real life and tell them you wish death on them and their family, and pretend it's OK because it's an obscure reference to 90s rap (mind you the rap song WAS an actual death threat)? Do you think you'd be met with laughter? Do you actually consider that socially acceptable behavior?

If you dislike their politics, so be it - donate to campaigns or personally run against them. Write a letter explaining how you'd like them to vote.. But the amount of absolute crass behavior people allow "because it's the internet" is mind boggling.

General rule of thumb -- if you're tempted to say anything that references "Hit Em Up" [0], don't do it on main.

Or, you know, just be drunk off of Twitter?

Elon barely gets away with it, and everyone else isn't that rich.

Elon getting away with it is the problem. Broken windows theory and all that.

Is it though?

Lots of people seem to have poor opinions of Elon specifically because he does this sort of thing.

That seems to be working as intended.

And we're never going to fix the "money buys away consequences" problem. F.ex. I'm not beholden to chefs' opinions of me, if I can throw 100x average salary to get one to work for me.

Do these poor opinions really matter? He companies are still the top desired destinations for STEM graduates. Endless supply of people to grind that results in him providing products/services that others can't provide. This results in increased dependance on his companies and him.
