This article is factual yet also rage-bait. Suspending accounts is something he's doing now. Contacting employers of people working at car companies and investment firms is something he did five years ago. The article does not say he is contacting the employer of accounts he is suspending now; they leave you to infer that by placing both facts in the same headline but separate paragraphs.
No love for Musk, avoid Twitter, etc.
Good to see we don't read articles here either, lol
old habits die hard
And that's why you always read the comments. so useful when someone takes the few minutes to summarize the actual content.
Exactly, only here for the comments, thats where the real content is 😜
Even before gaining control of Twitter, Musk would take a proactive approach to addressing criticism.
Back in 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk actively monitored Twitter for tweets containing the hashtag $TSLA, often used by Tesla short-sellers. Musk would reach out to executives at companies to investigate employees who were potentially publishing negative tweets about his electric vehicle company.
During that time, Musk reportedly emailed former Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess in July 2018, questioning whether one of Diess's employees was using Twitter to criticize Tesla anonymously. Business Insider later reported that Volkswagen determined the tweets were posted by the employee's brother.
Musk also allegedly texted Lawrence Fossi's employer. According to the WSJ, on July 23, 2018, Musk sent a text to the top executive at Fossi's company, asking the boss whether he knew his employee, known on Twitter as Montana Skeptic, "was obsessively trashing Tesla via a pseudonym," as disclosed in the report.
Straight from the article, for anyone wondering.
So musk has been a blantant childish shitbag for years now, good to know
Funny how the people the most likely to be fucking you over get the most aggressive about shutting down free speech (that they don't like)
