No idea if this was illegal but it definitely changed my opinion of Musk. With many of the other things he did at Twitter, you could say that they were not nice but they had a business purpose. This is not that, it just seems to be cruel for no reason. The guy just wanted to know whether or not he was fired. Didn’t even dispute whether or not it was warranted. This is so far below the bare minimum of reasonable business behavior I think it will cause big problems for Elon hiring or acquiring companies.

Yes and I agree. We're used to CEOs covering all possible angles, including the court of public opinion. Elon doesn't care about that. However morality and legality are two different things. We need to accept that CEOs care about morals because of their bottom line (money), not because of legals or that they're nice. It's not the job of a CEO to be nice. People that hate your product will never buy it. That's why diet soda or fast food care about trees and the sea: paying customers. Money.
