I stopped reading after this sentence:
So can I, and, if we’re being truly honest, so can, say, the Queen.
Anyone who throws that many commas around cannot be trusted as a good judge of anything.
Tonts-
So you missed this gem:
But I hear he treats his employees badly
People know they’re going to be working with Elon Musk, so they can’t play woe is me if he goes Elon on them.
I made the mistake of reading Microserfs, so I'm not surprised by this take, but it's still infuriating. People not born with Musks's privileges typically don't have the luxury of turning jobs down because the boss is a bastard. Besides which, Musk took over the company in a boardroom coup, he didn't found it. So plenty of the people he's abused didn't choose him at all. That pudgy man-baby often goes to work looking for somebody, anybody to fire, just to show he's the boss. But that's OK, Coupland has his back.
But he hurt my feelings and made me feel like I was in an unsafe and triggering work environment
Dear God, is this what our society has been reduced to?
You'd already identified yourself as a cunt, Coupland, no need to go on about it.
At least I only wasted a few minutes of my life on this. Wish I could get the time back for Microserfs.
