A safe space has been created for cast members who don’t want to work with the upcoming African American host.

Elon Musk is a white guy from California.

IIRC He has South African citizenship along with US citizenship, and Canadian to boot. I also want to say that I believe he was born in South Africa.

Ahh! That joke completely missed me, obviously. Thanks for explaining.

No kidding!

Those loosers aren't good enough to hold Elon's coat.

Elon was born in South Africa and as an engineer had a hand in designing many of the things he's world famous for (Cars, rockets, etc).

[oohrah]

He invented PayPal.

He invented PayPal.

So what. PP was purchased by ebay in 2002. IIRC, that is before the anti-gun policies.

Austin is less travel time to deliver bags of cash to the Capital.

If corporations in America don't begin rejecting this ridiculous culture of "woke", it is going to be the end of us all. I am not even sure what Elon Musks politics are. Are these snowflakes upset simply because he is rich? He provides woke automobiles to mostly wealthy "woke" people. His customer base is the most disgusting group of virtue signalers in America. Is this a case of eating their own?

A software company comes up with a brilliant corporate speech policy

1. No more societal and political discussions on our company Basecamp account. Today's social and political waters are especially choppy. Sensitivities are at 11, and every discussion remotely related to politics, advocacy, or society at large quickly spins away from pleasant. You shouldn't have to wonder if staying out of it means you're complicit, or wading into it means you're a target. These are difficult enough waters to navigate in life, but significantly more so at work. It's become too much. It's a major distraction. It saps our energy, and redirects our dialog towards dark places. It's not healthy, it hasn't served us well. And we're done with it on our company Basecamp account where the work happens. People can take the conversations with willing co-workers to Signal, Whatsapp, or even a personal Basecamp account, but it can't happen where the work happens anymore

2. No more paternalistic benefits. For years we've offered a fitness benefit, a wellness allowance, a farmer's market share, and continuing education allowances. They felt good at the time, but we've had a change of heart. It's none of our business what you do outside of work, and it's not Basecamp's place to encourage certain behaviors — regardless of good intention. By providing funds for certain things, we're getting too deep into nudging people's personal, individual choices. So we've ended these benefits, and, as compensation, paid every employee the full cash value of the benefits for this year. In addition, we recently introduced a 10% profit sharing plan to provide direct compensation that people can spend on whatever they'd like, privately, without company involvement or judgement.

About a third of Basecamp's employees have said they are resigning after the company, which makes productivity software, announced new policies banning workplace conversations about politics.

Great response…

In one of the greatest management moves of all time, Basecamp's CEO persuaded all of his most grindingly annoying employees to resign at once. .https://t.co/BUUhnfU691

Well... Not quite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal#Early_history

The funniest thing Elon could do on SNL is announce he's bought NBC and will be making major staffing starting with SNL...
