Elon Musk is urgent Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to look into Blizzard workers who criticized Charlie Kirk after his loss of life. Musk’s put up quotes an X thread itemizing names and screenshots of the builders.
Musk’s direct query to Nadella follows a broader censorship crackdown from Republicans concentrating on people celebrating Kirk’s loss of life or criticizing him. Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) stated he would use “Congressional authority and each affect with large tech platforms to mandate rapid ban for all times of each put up or commenter that belittled the assassination of Charlie Kirk.”
Former Blizzard developer Mark Kern, who goes by “Grummz” on-line and continuously posts about right-wing points on X, quoted the original thread, claiming that the screenshotted posts confirmed Blizzard workers “trashing” Kirk. Musk then quoted the put up himself along with his query to Nadella.
“We’re conscious of the views expressed by a small subset of our workers concerning latest occasions,” Microsoft stated in a post on X. The put up isn’t a reply to Musk however was shared on its most important @Microsoft web page. “We take issues like this very significantly and we’re at the moment reviewing every particular person state of affairs. Feedback celebrating violence in opposition to anybody are unacceptable and don’t align with our values.” (The screenshots within the thread shared by Musk don’t have a good time the taking pictures in opposition to Kirk.) Nadella has not replied to Musk publicly as of this writing.
