Another Project Veritas operation exposes what’s going on behind the lines at Twitter and the most astonishing thing is not the political censorship but how Twitter is run like a Day Care centre for student activists. It’s not a profit making business, so much as a university club with salaries for people who may only work 4 hours a week and brag about being “left left left” and as “commie as f**k”. If they need days off, they just don’t turn up to work. Sometimes they take months off. “Mental health is everything”.
No wonder Twitter employees hate Musk and are stress eating — They have jobs where they get paid to take a month off, and no one cares how efficient they are, or what their sales figures or expenses were. Nice work if you can get it.
Which begs the pointed question of who is paying for all this?
If Twitter isn’t there to make money, who is pouring the dollars in, and is the political censorship the whole point? And if that’s the case, and it sure looks like it is, TWTR is a listed trading stock and the words fraud and fiduciary duty seem apropos. If Twitter really is a communist megaphone, not a business, Elon Musk is exposing it, even if he doesn’t buy it. He’s pulling the capitalist-legal strings and if it’s an investment facade, it will unravel.
Project Veritas has a video of Twitter Senior Engineer, Siru Murugesan, explaining the work culture unwittingly to a hidden camera.
Wonder how the Twitter shareholders feel about this:
Twitter Sr. Engineer, Siru Murugesan
“Everyone gets to do what they want, no one really cares about OPEX (operating expenses), like capitalists [do], …they care about our health, In Twitter, mental health is everything. … Like if you are not feeling it, you can take a few days off. People have taken months off, — they will come back. But you always like, do your best at any time.”
Twitter culture (and free-paychecks) turn employees into communists:
“Like I started working for Twitter and became left. I think it’s just like the environment, like you, you’re there and you become like this commie — they call it Commiefornia for some reason.
But Elon is already getting to Siru and he surprisingly even admits it:
Elon makes some good points sometimes. I am slowly starting to buy his side a little bit.
Amazing the power of free speech.
That Twitter Culture:
The sad thing is that if Murugesan and other Twitter employees were educated in the West, they were never taught much about free speech, and were easy pickings for the weak excuses offered up in Twitter-world.
Suri openly says that “Twitter does not believe in free speech”. But he thinks that free speech is just whether you want to “bully and harrass people”.
“For example, like if you bully a transgender, the right thinks it’s okay. The left does not.”
Essentially the right tolerate bullying, he says, but the left “need it to be censored” or they will leave the platform, (making them sooky snowflakes in need of protection.) In snowflake world, it’s not that free speech is a quest for truth that may save lives and stop injustice, but that the worst thing in the world is to be bullied. All the gulags, slavery, death and disease is simply invisible.
The grand success of capitalism and free speech is to create people so protected from actual harm, hard work and pain that being bullied might be the worst thing that ever happened to them.
He thinks the Right are coming back to Twitter because Elon is the new Trump, and “he will protect people and give them safety.” He doesn’t seem to realize people on the right want competition, not protection, and if they’re coming back, it’s only because they think they might not be cancelled just for saying what they think. It’s the socialist Twitter employees who are looking for safe spaces, not the Right.
Twitter employees know they are a political machine:
He admits they hate Musk, the workers are stress eating, and they’re worried about their jobs because Musk is a capitalist, and they are socialists.
I don’t know if two parties [Left and Right] can exist on one platform…
“Ideologically it does not make sense like, because we’re actually censoring the right and not the left”.
Shame it’s so soul destroying.
