@angadc Things that constitute humour - Differences between people, crude things, purile things, gently denigrating people, stereotypes, 'in group' observations, absurd contextual changes. Can't find humour in that if your persona has diametrically opposite values.
Not a comment on its morality or validity, but ppl don't seem to get that Elon is trying to get people to quit. Twitter are losing $$, by signalling like this it makes people leave. A tried and tested approach to dealing with a workforce who are institutionalized to an old regime
