    Many people have reported this as a fake tweet. I don’t have time to be the tweet police. What is everyone’s thoughts about having a link to the actual tweet or other social media link?

    Edit: Please stop reporting this. They may have re-posted this from somewhere else and didn’t know or it might not be fake. I’m not going to x to find out. From now on, please provide an archived link to all politicians and major figures.

        I’m not the mod you’re talking to, but I assume they aren’t deleting it because OP posted it before providing a link was a rule, and it might not be a fake tweet. I mean it is fake, but I can’t prove that.

        Personally I’m in favor of mods erring on the side of not removing content if there’s any uncertainty, even if it’s a bit annoying seeing this fake tweet

      If this was true…Nd I wouldn’t be surprised that he would sya such a thing as… Making profit for the share holders. Is justified even if ruthlessly done…

      I remember watching a documentary, it may have been Robert Reich that was explaining how businesses in the 1970’s made profits but the difference between the owner and the employee was high but still within a certain logic. Companies still had the philosophy that you should keep your employees for 30 years and treat them with a certain respect whereas today… A lot of big business are there for the shareholder and screw the employee. They are selfish anyway… Wanting more than minimal salary 🙄

      Then again, I love reading Robert Reich… https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-paid-what-youre-worth-myth

      And yet another good article : https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-bosses-are-raking-it-in-shouldnt

    Is there a list of healthcare company shareholders?

    I guarantee you the companies will start freaking out once their largest shareholders start to be picked off and everyone else sells their shares.

    There’s been a bunch of Elon Musk tweets about this guy that are fake. But they’re all things he obviously believes.

      Because it’s not real. It’s from reddit, specifically, r/ToiletPaperUSA where it was clearly flaired as fake/satire.

    Did he just condemn people for celebrating the killer and shitting on the killed and then went on providing the exact reason why people are celebrating? He forget to take his meth this morning or something?

    the >80%+ that still use facebook using the laughing meme aren’t “the radical left” if anything, facebook is a right leaning platform.

    This is obviously fake. That’s what other CEOs think, not Musk.

    The only duty of CEO Musk is to himself!

    “We’re forced to!”

    Are you against that?

    You spent a shitload of money, scheming to reshape American democracy. Was a single penny spent toward untying your tortured hands?

    Do any of these assholes ever address this, as anything besides an excuse for their individual evils?

      Unfortunately, that’s not true. Dodge vs Ford Motor Co established the precedent of shareholder primacy when Henry Ford was successfully sued for attempting to reduce dividends in favor of reinvesting profits.
