While this all maybe entertaining to some people , it all just seems highly unprofessional. Right things can be done in a professional and respectful way , not make it all a big show unless they are desperate ways for the company to attract eyeballs and money.

A brand new (non-technical) CEO using misinformation to call out his dev team in public is also highly unprofessional, especially when they've tried to raise the same issue to management previously (apparently). I've seen the entire thread the fired gentleman in question wrote, and I don't see anything wrong with it, besides calling BS on the world's second biggest man-baby. >not make it all a big show unless they are desperate ways for the company to attract eyeballs and money. Are we talking about the fired gentleman or Elon Musk here?

  Yes it is unprofessional but that CEO happens to own Twitter, so there's that. The developer is trying to armwrestle his boss in public. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    Based on his timeline I think he was ready to leave anyway. I’d bet that he’ll have a new job long before Musk can find someone equally skilled willing to put up with him - fanboys are unlikely to be as good at coding as they are kissing up.

      If that's true, it's even more unprofessional. Agree to disagree is a basic professional skill. If you don't have that, maybe Elon was right to fire him?

        Musk slagged his workers in public based on his misunderstanding. This guy very patiently gave a detailed correction, so if anyone needs to work on something it’s Musk. Personally, I’d view this as a litmus test: if your boss is more concerned about scoring points with his sycophants than being right, most highly-employable engineers are going to walk before it gets worse. If Musk had been humble enough to treat this as an engineer would, that’s be a different story since it would tell you that improvement is possible.
