If I was the CEO of a major company and a small group of employees openly said I was an EMBARASSMENT to my own company. I would fire them fast. That's not critiquing Elon that's straight sabotage and talking trash

[Yankes]

Traditional media has at this point so little credibility that they could crap on Elon 24/7 and it would probably help him and make most people like him even more.

Good thing that those employees got fired. If they have a complaint, they should have filed a complaint to HR. These employees sound like a bunch of activists. Guess they have too much time on their hand. Now they can be enjoying doing it at home.

Anyone who calls the boss an embarrassment to the company deserves to be fired.

[maxaluta]

It's amazing how nervous Elon Musk makes these news people.

Socializing internal corporate matters and concerns and publicly humiliating your boss is deemed as professional misconduct, no matter where you are.

[dasmith]

Are you embarrassed by your boss? 1) Write a public letter for catharsis. 2) Get yourself fired. 3) Problem solved!

For the space X employees who were fired: a moment of silence which we will fill with raucous laughter.
😄😆🤣

Free speech on twitter vs what you say at the office are very different. The office is not the place for activism. You are free to work anywhere you like.

[brandonboykin]

So funny. Free speech doesn’t mean you are free from the consequences of said speech at an employer. You a free to go elsewhere for employment now!

[michellheim]

You'd be mistaken. Three quarters of the country, that are sick of wokism, cancel culture and censorship, is far from a minority. We're glad to see companies stepping up and taking them down. We're watching to see who hires them after their disgrace

[cawheeler]

Lol good riddance. Every company should purge their activists.

[mikelee]

In space, no one can here snowflakes scream.

[danmcgilldm]

It's that whole "free speech" thing ;)

[teamski]

GOOD! If they don't like the owner, they can leave. And thankfully, they did. It is amazing how people think that they can openly criticize their employers.

[deebee]

The same people who will demand that their coworkers be instantly fired for telling jokes are butthurt that this happened. 😂🤣

[PD-ydfr]

Oh.... write an open letterer criticizing the boss and you get welcome to real life Millennials. Have fun making those Tesla payments

[squireboone]

That’s what happens when you talk smack about the boss

[manofsan]

*Yeah, put that on your resume -- "Badmouthed the boss, got fired" -- see how hirable that makes you*

[adelaidemarie]

Critical of him? Did you mean they were Trying to Control him?
