I'm not surprised she was fired with that attitude.

    What was it, beacon of absolute free speech or some horseshit like that? Speaking of horse, remember when he told an employee he'd buy her a horse if she fucked him?

      Free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

    (wasn't he supposed to be for free speech?)

      (Did he stop her from saying it?)
      - freejazz 4y ago
        He literally cancelled her. Got her fired from her own job because of a tweet. It's exactly the intolerance he complains of.
        tinus_hn 4y ago
        No, actions have consequences but he has not prevented her from saying what she wanted to say.

        "No, actions have consequences" Literally the exact thing Elon Musks complains about except it's when someone on his side of the culture war that becomes a victim.

        Hurr durr Elon bad all you want, getting fired for telling your boss to ‘kiss my ass’ is not cancel culture and neither is continuing to host that message.
        freejazz 4y ago
        It's literally exactly what the right, and the rest of the twitter free speechistas, consider cancel culture.
        tinus_hn 4y ago
        I’m not about to debate a troll on the straw man of what ‘the right’ meanies consider cancel culture.

  I wonder if there’s a severance package for that. Employment suicide by cop.
  - anonporridge 4y ago
    Dangerous gamble for just a couple months of severance. Would make me hesitant to hire that person knowing they have such bad judgement as to publicly badmouth the CEO of their company on Twitter. Even hiring managers who personally hate Elon have to understand that this developer could easily turn the same energy on their own company at some point in the future and make them look terrible. Definitely a career limiting move, if not potentially career ending. Unless you're in a financial FU position, and this is your grand FU moment on your way out the door, it seems like a bad move.
    - freejazz 4y ago
      Don't overthink it. Elon's a huge ass.
    - yedava 4y ago
      I think this attitude about "bad judgement" needs to evolve. We need to consider whether a worker's profane tirade is a reflection of their judgement or a reflection of working under an extremely abusive boss.
    - jimmywetnips 4y ago
      Career ending. Go scope her experience and actual role and you'll see why she spoke so freely. She can waltz into any other company she wants. They're already coming for her in the thread lmao
      - encryptluks2 4y ago
        Lol.. these career ending move people are the same type that would say it is risky for someone who just graduated from MIT to leave their McDonald's job. I've sued multiple previous employers and never had it come up during interviews at Fortune 50 companies. I even went to work at one company that I had previously sued and won against in a personal dispute. If you're good at your job these companies don't care, they won't put that much effort into checking, and you can always scrub your social media later on.
- Swizec 4y ago
  The first line of that tweet reads > lol just got fired for shitposting I think it's okay to say "kiss my ass" after being fired. Especially if you think doing so sends the right signal.
  - scarab92 4y ago
    Her "kiss my ass elon" pinned post was from July 8. She's been publicly criticising Elon for a few days now, and not in a constructive manner like the Android dev. I can understand why she'd be let go.
    - encryptluks2 4y ago
      Because she want like the pony flight attendant?
- paulgb 4y ago
  Eh, normally I'd agree, but let's not pretend this is a normal situation. If you parachute into a company as CEO and start publicly insulting all of the professional work that the employees (half of whom he just fired) have done, you can't expect them not to defend themselves and their (former) colleagues. This seems to be the fireable shitpost: https://twitter.com/sachee/status/1591857120768843776 https://twitter.com/sachee/status/1591857120768843776

    Her pinned Tweet is "kiss my ass elon" from July 8.
    - paulgb 4y ago
      True, I didn't see that. Still, he wasn't her boss at the time, that was the day he filed the first termination letter of his attempt to buy twitter, so it looked like he never would be. (I'm assuming she pinned it after he fired her, but I'm not sure.) https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000110465922098972/tm2225585d1_ex99-r.htm https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000110465922...

  If you wanna be paid to be a doormat, there is demand for that clearly. This is like his open door policy - go through it, for you will leave your job behind it.
