    1. I agree Naomi Wu is a force for good
    2. Elon Musk sucks
    3. This article does not actually establish any meaningful blame for Elon Musk in Naomi Wu’s plight.

    Sorry, yes Elon Musk is the reason Twitter is shitting itself to death, but that doesn’t make Elon the main person responsible for Naomi’s problems. It’s probably not even top 10. It’s weird to call him out in this.

      If you can’t understand the article: musk is blamed for making twitter shit and abandoned. Wu was on twitter, and she said it was a platform where she could be seen and supported, and this audience was protecting her, because a famous person would not disappear without it making noise.

      It is an indirect responsibility, but a big one nonetheless.

      It’s Lemmy, the sentence “and why I blame Elon Musk” is basically the unspoken rule of everything.

      Now don’t get me wrong, he’s a POS businessman just trying to manipulate the market into a profit for himself, but if there’s no reasonable way to blame him for something and it seems like you’re just going “thanks Obama!” It’s getting old.
