Former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo tweeted today some capitalists “are going to be the first” to be “shot in the revolution.”

“Me-first capitalists who think you can separate society from business are going to be the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the revolution,” he wrote. “I’ll happily provide video commentary.”

Dick Costolo was responding to a tweet in a thread about whether tech companies and business leaders should involve themselves in social justice issues.

“Tech companies used to welcome lively debate about ideas and society,” Dick Costolo tweeted in the thread on Sept. 29. “It was part of the social contract inside the company, and it’s what differentiated tech culture from, say, Wells Fargo culture. Now it’s considered a distraction.”

Guess Dick missed what Antifa did to Portland mayor Ted Wheeler’s condo just hours after he virtue signaled to them that he wasn’t going to stop the riots.

Spoiler Alert: They tried to burn it down, and force him to go into hiding.

This is incitement of violence, glorifying violence and it’s the former CEO of Twitter. And, I thought, an old friend. I’m stunned. pic.twitter.com/Oidep3ay6C

This tweet is an actual violation of twitter TOS for glorifying violence. That aside, thanks for publicly endorsing the mass murder of your poltical adversaries. This is clarifying.
