Have we given up pointing out that a billionaire's legal troubles are not technology?
Pointing out won't do, we need moderation.
This billionaire's legal troubles are because Elon's decisions have impacts on all of us.
Imagine not using Twitter / not owning a Tesla / not using Starlink in 2023. /s
Do they really, though?
Twitter is still guffawed upon by the media. He owns a rocket company actively launching payloads into space and has interfered with Ukraine defense operations. He's wasting the court's time with his money. There is an impact.
He stopped giving them shit for free
So let’s put Trump’s legal problems in the tech community as well, because it impacts on all of us and he owns some companies that do tech.
Elon isn’t technology. You can make a case that some of his companies are, but just because they can be argued as tech companies doesn’t make this tech news.
