I don't know qhat bot farm you get that many upvotes from but you really need to do more research.
The first part was a statement that was backed by the board (this after the CEO guy doubled down on supporting Trump when questioned).
The second part almost merits no explainer: saying you are "neutral" on politics is the same as saying you favour those why already have the power - the oligarchs and those who maintain the status quo.
maybe some people just don't give a fuck about what CEOs of the companies they consume products of tweet in their personal accounts? All this drama is a nothingburger to me and a complete waste of time.
Presumably bots and right-wings don't give a fuck, because they know they have the advantage on that one. And other people who are apathetic to the issue deserve what they get. The problem is that this does not function as social darwinism, so their idiocy drags the rest of us down with them.
We all pick our battles. I have dozens of things more relevant to be worried about. If you think it's bad that part of the society doesn't really care about what a CEO is tweeting, maybe you have a really good life, or maybe you're going to burn out soon.
And don't forget about right wing bots!
Of course not, how could I~?
