Auchtoon!This Is Awkward
It is not only plausible but entirely predictable that Elon Musk would fire somebody for a perceived insult. This self-styled defender of the First Amendment’s free speech protections has proven himself time and again a vengeful snowflake when it comes to contrary opinions.
However, the logical fallacy I could not resolve in the cartoon is that Musk cannot fire a union worker because he would never employ a union worker. It’s a conundrum.
But you know what? A union worker with any sort of admiration for Musk (or Musk’s preferred presidential candidate) defies all logic, too. So by these bizzarro-world standards, I may just be on solid ground.
