TBH, I have 0 sympathy for PG. he was excusing Elon’s Twitter actions, with roughly “he lands rockets, and you don’t, so he knows what he’s doing”.

He only has an issues with him when he’s personally affected? Cool.



He employs rocket scientists.

And also, I hear, a layer of glad-handing management dedicated to keeping him from putting his thumb in the rocket scientist pie, patting him on the head for his cockamamie ideas, and faking up Potemkin demonstrations to keep him happy.


How the world changed. I was heavily downvoted for a comment like this few months ago.


Anyone can employee rocket scientists


Anyone with heaps of money


It does not seem that PG is seeking sympathy, and it wasn't what bothered him

The post indicated that what bothered PG, was the 'last straw', was the new policy against directly "advertising"/"promoting" other social media such as Mastadon, FB, and a few others.

PG indicated that his personal webpage had his new socmedia addresses, and apparently got banned for that. Not even directly posting them.

Pretty damn far from Free Speech Absolutism.

Hell, this is not even close to being a Sec230-protected "carrier", it is straight up editorial control, which means Musk/Twitter could be solely responsible for all posted content...
