This is about a person working in tech that started a successful startup company, and was fired from another tech company which acquired the former. The firing is really public, and of questionable morality (perhaps even questionable legality), where the CEO of the bigger company is trying to publicly humiliate his worker. This is indeed very interesting to HN (you can see that by the number of upvotes and comments). It touches on what we can expect when working in tech, and how tech billionaires treat their workers. The low value comments about Elon being rude or justifying his behavior will be voted down as they are less interesting than the actual matter at hand.
