Just on the Frohnhoefer situation, I'm trying to understand the hostility toward Musk expressed in postings here (https://twitter.com/EricFrohnhoefer/status/1591902285403418624 https://twitter.com/EricFrohnhoefer/status/15919022854034186...) and here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33603418#33603908 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33603418#33603908).
In the Twitter exchange, Musk apologizes for poor performance of the app in some countries, without naming any names, then when an engineer publicly challenges him, he publicly responds, ultimately resulting in the employee's public termination.
Maybe Musk should have taken the discussion offline (in other words not continue it publicly), but anyway the engineer, in my opinion, probably shouldn't have gone public unless he was just looking to virally add to his follower count by dissing a controversial new owner in public.
Also, Frohnhoefer actually had a line in his Twitter status "still at @twitter, open to new opportunities" or something like that. I guess that was his point.
