See if Musk was _actually a smart man, he’d have moved twitter’s headquarters TO Israel before starting this lawsuit, seeing as that anti-boycott act is present in like 40 states.

To be more accurate, your analogy should actually read something like this:

Origionally you give raises to your employees based on performance.

Then one of them says “fuck you”.

After that point giving a raise to any of them has a 5% chance of killing you, per raise.

How many raises do you now give?

There is no retaliation or punishing involved at all. Just a healthy respect for the consequences, however unlikely.
