Sorry, another news from this asshole, but this is too much assholery to don’t be shared

Despite him being a shitty boss that fired employees that criticized him on twitter, he promised an “unlimited” legal defense fund to fight against employers that fired employees because of something they wrote on Twitter.

Under his tweet a lot of “verified” (=right wing) accounts plauded this and asked to fight employers who fired employees for having written something homophobic

I hope one of those employees sues him. And asks him publicly to pay their legal fees.

I am surprised that nobody has sued the former president for those paying out when he said the same thing.

Yeah, this has nothing to do with technology. It’s a useless article anyway, because it doesn’t seem to actually say what his tweet said…

Technology doesn’t exist in a void, and pretending it does is how we get Wernher von Brauns.

The man who might be the poster boy for “the science, not the scientist?”

Bad example imo. Dude even shut his whore mouth and just made rockets to own the commies, he’s if anything a fair argument for far right rehabilitation.
