You don't even know if they were getting paid or not.

Could have been either. As long as it was Twitter paying them and not Tesla, would that be illegal? Again, I've worked 2 jobs at the same time before. Lot's of people do a second job in the evenings or weekends. It would depend if this was banned in their Tesla contracts. Have you seen the contracts? If so, please post a link.

It's normally OK for employees to do volunteer work out of hours. I used to do it myself for an animal shelter in the UK at weekends, my company knew about it and had no problems at all. I didn't do it instead of sleeping either, I managed to work the day job, volunteer, and have a social life with both my colleagues and other volunteers as well - amazing huh ????. It might even be illegal for Musk to stop his staff doing volunteer work outside their contracted hours. As long as they aren't doing it for a Tesla competitor then I don't see why it would be an issue. Clutching at straws.

Volunteering after hours. The Musk haters are getting desperate ????.

"According to internal records viewed by CNBC." Sorry, but that doesn't constitute real evidence. The equivalent of "unnamed sources told us".

Yes. Evidence. I have no interest in Musk fanboys, but thanks for the offer.

I presume you have links to back up all those accusations? I mean links with real evidence? Not just links to more unsubstantiated gossip...

Probably a tongue in cheek comment. Yes it was a stupid comment when he shouldn't have even been on the stage. A poor decision with a predictable outcome, especially in CA.

Did he tell that story with a straight face? ????

Who mentioned cheering?

I've seen the video and it's difficult to tell how much of the crowd is booing. A small minority are capable of making a lot of noise, as this forum shows daily. Similarly, empty vessels make the most noise. To be honest, I probably wouldn't have booed him but I wouldn't have been that impressed to see him on the stage if I had paid to see Dave Chappelle. It was a bad move IMO. Obviously if I'd been a typical Californian (SF) lefty Dem I'd have booed him and then rejoiced and claimed that everyone was booing.

I doubt Musk is on there deleting the tweets himself. Maybe he needs to sack a few more of the employees who don't know what freedom of speech means? Of course it's going to take time to change the culture of such a company. Meanwhile, my feed is full of that story so I highly doubt Musk has put a blanket ban on it.

In fairness it wasn't bad and there wasn't much competition. Movies seem to be getting progressively worse as the plots are often driven by some underlying agenda of the Hollywood Wokerati that turns the film from simple entertainment into some kind of boring lecture on equality or diversity. I can't imagine Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill getting past the virtue signallers now. Wasn't Markle complaining that Kill Bill stereotyped Asian women as being overly aggressive the other day? It seems she didn't notice Uma Thurman's character ????. Maybe she could get voiceover work on the new Muppets movie?

It's all over my Twitter feed.

Just staying on topic.

Actually the thread is about Musk getting booed off stage. Clue is in the title.

Chappellle is hilarious. Maybe my favourite comedian right now. Musk really had no place on the stage with him. He should stick to promoting freedom of speech, not comedy.

Absolutely mocking. You only have to look at Harry's expression to see that he knows it as well. He briefly recovers as MEghan keeps up the mocking and laughing. She then went on to describe it like Medieval times. I wonder what people would have said of Lady Hussey if she'd described Marlene's African tribal outfit as "like medieval times"? Or if William started mocking/mimicking some parts of African cultural ceremonies? No doubt a different response from the Wokerati. Double standards much?

Well some people are clearly buying into it ????. I hope they don't spend it all at once. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/meghan-and-harrys-archewell-charity-reports-dismal-sum-raised-in-first-year/CZCT4X5E4YH25C6JM2OC3CJTLA/ I wonder what their personal income was during the same period? You know, for publicly trashing their families.

Marvellous.

Yeah - those pesky facts. Have a good day.

A PR puff piece. Most of it before they left the UK. Anything since has consisted of a few speeches and staged pap shots.

Yeah he loved it in there, calling Asian colleagues his "little P**i friend" and dressing like a Nazi for parties. Top bloke that Harry. Spiffing yah.

Good to see such a balanced view!! How about all the great work they've done for charities around the world? Slipped your mind? If you knew your own family history over the last 1000 years I am sure there would be some skeletons in there as well. That's human beings for you... He's the guy who raised her, paid for her education and got her into the media industry, before being ceremoniously dumped and left alone with chronic health problems. Compassion, Meghan style.

Mostly brief PR exercises to keep their names in the papers. What meaningful work have they done since leaving the UK? I mean, long term projects with tangible results. I'm not talking about 20 minute speeches to "raise awareness" at lavish awards ceremonies.
