"Tech leaders fear losing their livelihoods or else being publicly harassed by one of the most powerful men in their industry, spurned by his allies, and attacked by his entire online army. 'The terror is real,' said Christoff, who now consults with tech leaders through her crisis communications and political strategy firm, Christoff & Co."
Remember all those illiberal activists who said "freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences" and "freedom of speech only applies to the government" (despite that being incorrect)? This is their own words coming back to haunt them in a very public way. Their "terror" deserves no sympathy from liberals.
This is supposed to be a safe space for innovators and tech engineers/hustlers to not have to hear about social or economic issues unless it's the good kind that SV geniuses have managed to improve
I wonder what these ‘leaders’ tell their family and children - to stand up to bullies or to succumb to them. All those who paid to the inauguration ‘ceremony’ and just capitulating. I always wondered how and why dictators and Nazism took hold. I have the answer now.

All the Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerbergs in the world allowed it to happen by consolidating power and prioritizing profit over humanity. They’ve created a world where influence is bought, and the voices of the people are drowned out by the loudest wallets. These tech giants and billionaires have shaped a society where the strong get stronger, the vulnerable get weaker, and moral integrity is sacrificed for personal gain. Their silence, or worse, their complicity, fuels the rise of those who prey on fear and division. So, yes, the seeds of authoritarianism were sown by those who could’ve made a stand but chose to benefit from the chaos instead.

Anyone actually experiencing this?
Does Musk have an "entire online army" anywhere but on Twitter? Not seeing it on Reddit or Discord. Don't use Facebook or Instagram.
