"Elon Musk is pressing Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to look into Blizzard employees who criticized Charlie Kirk after his death. Musk's post quotes an X thread listing names and screenshots of the developers. "What's going on here, @satyanadella?" Musk said. "These are Microsoft employees," he added in another post. Musk's direct question to Nadella follows a broader censorship crackdown from Republicans targeting individuals celebrating Kirk's death or criticizing him."
"Former Blizzard developer Mark Kern, who goes by "Grummz" online and frequently posts about right-wing issues on X, quoted the original thread, claiming that the screenshotted posts showed Blizzard employees "trashing" Kirk. Musk then quoted the post himself with his question to Nadella. "We're aware of the views expressed by a small subset of our employees regarding recent events," Microsoft said in a post on X."
Elon Musk pressed Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to investigate Blizzard employees who criticized Charlie Kirk after his death, quoting an X thread listing names and screenshots. Musk publicly asked Nadella about the posts and identified the individuals as Microsoft employees. The exchange came amid Republican calls for a crackdown on posts that celebrated or belittled Kirk's assassination, with Rep. Clay Higgins promising to use congressional influence. Former Blizzard developer Mark Kern reposted the thread claiming employees were "trashing" Kirk. Microsoft said it is reviewing each situation and called comments celebrating violence unacceptable; Nadella has not replied.
