Elon Musk sounds like a manager at one of my part-time jobs with all of his passive aggressive leadership.
I don't understand why people want to work for him. If he doesn't get his way he cries about it.
The reason advertisers are leaving isn't because they are activists it is because they have seen and read about his leadership and decided to stay away from a toxic culture.
Jamie, your last sentence really made me think. Twitter as a platform has been toxic for a while; the difference now is that toxicity has ungraciously bounded into the leadership team. And that dooms any chance of solving the online toxicity.
Twitter and Facebook. Two platforms I use seldom, if at all, anymore. Because they don't serve me or my purposes. It's watch and see for a bit. Both seem so caught up in themselves, I can't honestly give them my time or my content anymore.

The toxicity is being televised and I don't blame advertisers for walking away.
I don't think Elon Musk has experience in people telling him no.
He probably thought since he is the 1% no one would care and that his words and actions don't matter much.
When what he represents and how he treats his workers is defining the hostile work environment he has demonstrated over the years.
Did not, have not, will not use Facebook for all sorts of reasons. Barely used Twitter (I think maybe three tweets). Suspended now.
By today's standards, my megaphone is (1) small and quiet, (2) traditional (via blog essays), and (3) as honest and thoughtful as I can make it.
Scott, another great article. Perhaps these days we should rephrase our goals to be "life, liberty, and the pursuit of civility..."

Dickens, so apropos. Elon Scrooge. A visit from spirits past, present, and future is in order. Stat.
