If you look at who Spez idolizes (Musk) and how he treated and talked about the protesters…. No. He or the board doesn’t get a pass for this. This is a move stemmed 100% from financial gain and malfeasance

The actual razor in that case; incompetent malice.

They think their platform is unique - incompetence.

They think this users are morons to be milked - malice.

Eventually the second part becomes true as the intelligent users realize the first is not l, leaving only morons who are easily milked.

Is that anything like Hanlon’s Razor?
