The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, seems to find taste to fire people. This is not only referring to his own employees at Tesla or the US government. He now speaks out that Twitch releases some employees who do not fit him. The demand arises in connection with a conflict about the streamers Hasanabi and Ethan Klein.
What is the controversy about? There is a permanent dispute between some streamers on Twitch:
The streamer Hasanabi is known for his political content. Since the election of Trump has been in the White House, Hasanabi has significantly increased his success on Twitch: in the last 180 days, his number of spectators has increased by 26 % to 31,400.
But Hasanabi always has controversy content. So he interviewed a Huthi rebel and talked to him about One Piece. He is also accused of trivializing terrorists again and again.
Opponents accuse him of glorification of violence and unpatriotic behavior. The critics include content creators such as Ethan Klein and the former MMORPG streamer Asmongold, who now focuses on commenting on news and gladly ignored.
The dispute among the streamers on Twitch has become inflamed in the Gaza conflict in recent months.

Elon Musk calls the dispute over Twitch-Banns
That now caused the barrel to overflow:
In the past few days, Hasanabi has been banned from Twitch, but was pardoned and released after only one day.
Ethan Klein, on the other hand, who showed and criticized content in a content nuke, was banned by Twitch for glorification for 30 days.
In a clip on X, Ethan Klein is upset that he is banned for 30 days just because he shows Hasanabi content that stops on Twitch without any problems. So while Hasanabi gets away undorated or with a pat on his fingers, he is punished hard himself. For him and his supporters, Twitch shows a clear ideological preference, a so -called “bias”.
In this context, a tweet was built on March 6 on Musk’s platform X, in which a user writes:
Ethan Klein gets a 30-day spell because he shows the content nuke for Hasanabi. Looks like a lot of people had to be fired on Twitch.
Elon Musk agrees with the “100 %” emote.
In connection with Twitch, the dismissal of CEO Dan Clancy is always required. In any case, Twitch seems financially to be a burden for Amazon and you want to take a austerity course: head of Twitch publicly admits that you don’t make any money: “We were bigger than we had to be”
