   Now-former Twitter infrastructure engineer Yiwei Zhuang posted on LinkedIn that those laid off included people currently on parental leave, and that he now has 60 days to start another job because of his visa – a task further complicated by the holiday period.bUt He CaReS aBoUt HuMaNiTy

     Sure the richest man on earth cares about humanity ?
     If that would be true, then he would be the richest man on earth anymore ?

     @puniko You forget that for Musk, humanity consists of one person—himself.

     @puniko What do you mean? :blobcatTilt:

     Even though it seems very obvious to me, let me make clear that I was not trying to defend Musk with that previous reply.

     @puniko Ah, okay, that makes sense now. Your statement, I mean. Not someone defending Musk's actions by claiming he cares about humanity (i.e. people other than himself).

     @puniko@mk.absturztau.be Like that would be an argument xD
     
     It is just a simple fact, if he cares about humanity, then he wouldn't be that rich.
     I fully understand how capitalism developed and to be honest I don't have an alternative system ready that fully works.
     However capitalism is not a system that favours humand kind in general, it favours those who have already too much, and everyone in this system should be aware of that.

     @puniko @mezzodrinker Ye, it's utterly mindboggeling to me how many idiots seriously shill for Musk and defend or glorify every single thing this guy does but in the same breath make fun of people getting laid off and how they dont deserve any better because they work for twitter because apparrently that is a crime.

     I swear this guy could murder a child in open daylight with a screwdriver and people would still defend him for it.

     @book@sleepy.cafe @puniko@mk.absturztau.be If I decide to invest my savings in Tesla stocks and Elon tweets something stupid, it can drastically reduce my savings.
     
     
     However, I need to be really stupid to put all my savings into tesla stocks in the first place ?

     @tfunken @puniko "Richest man on earth" lists like Forbes only count people who disclose their wealth publicly, typically businessmen. Every single member of the houses of Saud or Rothschild has a larger net worth than Elon Musk, for example. Plenty of Trillionaires around.
     
     >Even if he is able to be the reason why the assets of other people become worthless just based on his actions ? So.. based on my opinion he has still too much power.
     What does this even mean

     @book@sleepy.cafe @puniko@mk.absturztau.be Isn't he supposed to be the richest man on earth?
     
     Tbh, I never actually cared. Because that title usually includes the stock assets and as soon as it becomes public musk tries to sell all or even a significant about of his share of one company, that company becomes worthless ?
     So the numbers are in general just virtual.. He will never be able to actually control so much money.
     
     Even if he is able to be the reason why the assets of other people become worthless just based on his actions ? So.. based on my opinion he has still too much power.
