Don't forget the female engineer they fired for calling Elon "a little shit" on twitter. I don't know if it would be worse if it turned out to be because Elon complained or because he is their hero.

Almost everyone at YC worships Elon, you can see it on Sam Altman’s face when he interviewed him on YouTube.

  Sam Altman might actually believe that Elon is superior to him.

  That's disgusting really, but looks like it's true.

  I blocked that account a long time ago, if their IRL persona is anything like their twitter I doubt this was the only reason they were fired.

Elon is no angel, but I gotta say it would shock me if he was such a huge loser that he would complain about something like this

  Well, he called a rescue diver a pedophile because said diver didn't like Elon's sub and had specifuc idea where Elon should put said submarine.

      I like and respect Bernie but that's just an internet burn, it's whatever

    I am not going to stand up to Elon Musk or what he said. But, the response generated by Elon Musk was after the British rescue diver said this > “He can stick his submarine where it hurts,” he told CNN. “It had absolutely no chance of working. He had no conception of what the cave passage was like. Somehow, this part gets left out from this discussion.

      Yes, and? He is 100% correct. I lost the last shred of respect for Elon after his Thailand photo op. Disgusting person.

      And that makes calling him a pedophile somehow acceptable?

I'm beginning to think that we should extend Godwin's Law to include Elon. Just about every online conversation nowadays eventually deteriorates into a discussion about how terrible Elon is. Btw, I'm exaggerating, but still.

Firing doesn't seem like a proportional response... But representing herself as a Stripe employee after flaming on the internet isn't a good look for their business.
