@cwebber Its likely a coincidence. The selling of a companies stock from one stock holder to another has no effect on a companies operating funds. It can change the valuation of a company, but not the ability of that company to pay employees.

This is an easy confusion to make as the sale of stock can under other circumstances generate funds for internal use. This happens only when a company sells stock the company itself owns, or creates new stock (increases number of shares) and then sells that. Since in that case the company is selling the stock it generates money for the company. Also the reverse is true, if a company performs a stock buy back then it would loose operating funds.

But yea, Elon selling his shares has no direct impact on how much money tesla has in the bank.

@cwebber Thanks. Had no idea he was posting anything transphobic, I'd have to see that part to form an opinion.

That said im generally ok with the free speech part, where I have issues is when a person cant filter the speech they hear effectively. Generally trying to control speech seems to just amplify hate speech anyway.

Not sure I see any tie in to the employees laid off though still.

@cwebber I think I missed something... how does Musk buying twitter relate to transphobia. Also not sure of the relevance of Tesla layoffs in general here, one person selling stock to another doesnt generally effect a companies operating budget, at least not directly.

@arh@mstdn.io Happy to help.

@arh@mstdn.io I think its largely because they are concerned they may have upset you or had a misunderstanding. I usually check in with people I notice unfollow me to make sure everyhting is ok.

@darksky None of those points are issues to me, many are features I'd even want. I'm ok with this.

@darksky I use brave, so chromium based.

@arh@mstdn.io Sounds like your getting older and just wanna cash in on the free respect now

@Pat
Looks legit
@Maristya @cobratbq

@Maristya No its not. A Lettice is any species of lettuce where the cells are arranged in a lattice. Not to be confused a Lattuce, which is anytime you have many heads of lettuce arranged in a lattice!

@freeschool Why did you never speak to him again?
