I think you have employed reduction to absurdity to make it "more clear".

No, the situations are profoundly different.

I think you have done the same. Comparing an abusive employer to an alcoholic parent is an exaggeration, I agree, but I did that on purpose to help make the moral arguments more clear. However, I absolutely don't agree that the comparison is absurdly different, and I don't agree in the least that the situation are profoundly different. Having suffered through toxic work places myself, I can say with certainty that some can create an enormous amount of stress, even to point of causing someone's death.

You did a reduction to absurdity on purpose, thank you very much for clarifying that.

You also continue reduction to absurdity by suggesting that toxicity implies someone's death. Sometimes it did, but it takes much longer time than couple of months.

As we are talking about Elon Musk and quite short span of time, I think your suggestions are also manipulations in an attempt to cancel Elon Musk's Twitter [1].

Twitter, being so far a nice place to work [2] on par with Google, suddenly became toxic place everyone needs to quit. I do not think this is really the case, even remotely.

Urging anyone to do what can cause them immediate (financial) harm is not good or ethical.
