Not a fan of Meta/FB, but calling their COO one of the biggest criminals in the country is too much.
Especially with all the competition for the top place.

I think if you view it in this context (view another Tweet in the spoiler tag) it makes more sense. But I also think most aren't calling her one of the biggest criminals in the country, that was one person's comment that isn't getting a high level of engagement. But this take one is getting considerably more and is more in line with how I think some people think of her.

Mind you, she's successfully cultivated a very specific persona that makes it seem like she has not been involved with the ills of Facebook, even though as COO there's no way she's not up to her neck in the multitude of bad decisions from FB.

Thanks for that (and the spoiler). I have said it before, I believe META is not good for society and it should be regulated to the gills. But calling its owners, and I include Zuckerberg there, CRIMINALS, is very tough.
I mean, if you call them criminals, but do you call the Mar-A-Lago mob, or even "real life" criminals with guns and working for the real mafias? It is just, for me, that we are running out of words for some descriptions.

No thanks, you're not the only one making cars and rockets, Elon. Maybe Elon could shut his mouth for 40+ hours a week?

He has been very vocal lately about how people have to work MORE.
That is a very common theme for these super successful "managers". They think that because they like to work 70 hours a week, everybody has to do it too. Zero quality of life for the rest of the people.
I remember the CEO of Yahoo! telling the story of how she was back to work hours after giving birth. As if that were commendable.

Yes, exactly. He has established very admirable companies, but no way I would want to work for any of them. At most maybe few years in my 20-ties.

And the point is: if you have a "fun" job, ok, maybe you want to be at the office 40 hours or more a week. But I am sure there are a lot of accountants at Tesla/SpaceX/Boring, and those people simply do not have to be at a desk 40 hours every week. Some weeks will be more, some weeks will be less.
It is a surprising statement in the sense that it is so outdated. A company like that should be result driven, not time driven.

The governments of the USA/EU/JAPAN MUST make sure that when this bubble bursts, the general public will not be affected. It is all I would consider.
Biden et al must make it clear that these bozos will not be bailed out.
