No, I literally asked you what you meant and to clarify here. Having to disabuse false claims of strawmen seems to not be an uncommon thing here:
Literally trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.
With regards to your link, which goes to a bronze sculpture art site called John Lopez Studio, BTW, you are talking about the rights surrounding labor unions. If you get a job at Dairy Queen and tell customers that your boss is an idiot and you think he pees in the ice cream, you can't get an injunction because he violated your free speech rights when you are fired.
With regards to Elon Musk, if he is banning people for simply making fun of him, then yes, I agree that would be hypocritical. I wasn't aware of any cases where that occured. I believe you though -- can you link one as I am curious. But it seems like this wasn't your beef, it was his firing of the employees and thus violating their free speech rights, which I disagree with you that I don't think they necessarily have.
At-will employment - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) provides protection to employees who wish to join or form a union and those who engage in union activity. The act also protects employees who engage in a concerted activity.[36] Most employers set forth their workplace rules and policies in an employee handbook. A common provision in those handbooks is a statement that employment with the employer is "at-will". In 2012, the National Labor Relations Board, the federal administrative agency responsible for enforcing the NLRA, instituted two cases attacking at-will employment disclaimers in employee handbooks. The NLRB challenged broadly worded disclaimers, alleging that the statements improperly suggested that employees could not act concertedly to attempt to change the at-will nature of their employment, and thereby interfered with employees' protected rights under the NLRA.
I’ve corrected the link.
my only beef is that all of it makes him hypocritical.
