I'd remind you that Elon called out one of Twitter's engineers on Twitter for the Android app being slow. Professional conduct is clearly not a priority to him.

It would be helpful to link the relevant twit, both for verification purposes and to be able to judge his words with our own brains. There's way too much hearsay being flung about in social media about Twitter's new ownership.

  Ok. Here's the original tweet: https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1591853644944932865 https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1591853644944932865 The reply: https://nitter.net/EricFrohnhoefer/status/1591902285403418624 https://nitter.net/EricFrohnhoefer/status/159190228540341862... And a screenshot of another exchange: https://nitter.net/cabel/status/1592228117409845249#m https://nitter.net/cabel/status/1592228117409845249#m Elon thinks he's an engineer, but he is just rich brat trying to look like an engineer, and throwing the real engineers under the bus in the process.

    While I question the leadership merits of slagging off your own product, he did not personally attack any team member as claimed by parent post.

      Following up on my own post, I failed to read the third link where he did ask an employee who tried to shine light on the Android slowness. After what looks like a reasonable series of responses, Musk fired him https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/14/23458247/elon-musk-fires-engineer-correcting-twitter https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/14/23458247/elon-musk-fires... Keep your head down, I guess.

      EDIT: Ah, didn't see your reply until after I posted this. He tweeted at Fraunhoefer: > Twitter is super slow on Android. What have you done to fix that? Which sounds a lot like an attack to me, coming from someone in Elon's position. If you need further explanation, he addressed it at him with the word 'you'. Also, firing the guy after this exchange is kind of a personal attack.

      I was referring to this tweet: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1591937998551130117 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1591937998551130117 Elon shits on the product in public, team member defends their work, Elon calls the team member out on it, who by the way then replies perfectly reasonably: https://twitter.com/EricFrohnhoefer/status/1591968343229366272 https://twitter.com/EricFrohnhoefer/status/15919683432293662... and then gets fired.

        I see that now, you might see my other comment. One item that's unclear to me is if the employee had put that they were open to other opportunities on their profile at the time of firing. To me that changes the calculus of why he may have been fired.

        You forgot to add that Elon then implemented the fired employees suggestions
