You have to find Elon Musk's refreshing counterpoint to the sensitivities of woke culture. As reported in the WSJ, a small cadre of SpaceX employees subjected their fellow workers to a letter looking to gain support to “separate the company from Mr. Musk’s personal brand”, particularly his “public statements and behavior”, finding him “embarrassing and distracting”. In simpler terms, some employees didn’t care for Mr. Musk’s politics and failed to realize where they fit in the food chain. What is truly refreshing is the company response. It is nice to know that in America, some corporations recognize that they need not succumb to the leftist whining, woke culture, and bend to their whims. Ms. Shotwell, SpaceX President and possessing a most appropriate surname, responded by conducting an internal investigation, outing the culprits, and promptly firing them. But their First Amendment Rights, wailed the left. Not in this case. They inappropriately used company time, company resources, internal e-mail, and “diverted employee’s attention from company operations.” Bravo. And after all, SpaceX is Elon Musk’s company, it is his vision. You don’t like it? The door is that way. American corporations take note. And stop pandering to the left.
