Don't publicly dunk on your boss, especially when he's already well-established that he's an incorrigible man-child.

Pretty sure the guy was already on the way out, so he figured he'd do it in style

If you look into the other replies on that tweet, Eric (the fired guy) also explained how Musk just doesn't understand how the technology works on a basic level or what any of the terms mean.

So yeah, this was definitely an ego firing.

But who else can correct the lie? People who don't work there wouldn't know that it's bullshit. If an employee didn't talk, the public would just have to accept the false narrative.

Anyone who has paid attention to anything Elon has said over the years would know that Elon knows absolutely nothing about tech.

Musk being an idiot aside, who's actually right? The quality of the Android Twitter app doesn't inspire confidence in the employee either tbh.

so do you think Musk posted a separate "he's fired" tweet for all 7000 people he let go, then?

Doesn't seem like the explanation really points to the employees fault. He can't exactly start the app again and start from scratch.

The android app being low quality does not say anything about the employee. You only have some much time to write new features and optimize code. If your boss wants you to push out new features, you aren't optimizing code. Like wise if you are optimizing code you aren't pushing out new features.

When musk took charge of Twitter, the first thing he did was fire half the work force and then force work on the $8 twitter verification that got turned off after a day.

The employee knew what needed to be done to fix the issues and told musk what steps needed to be done to address such issues. So musk fired the guy and tried to implement his fixes instead of having the guy implement the fixes himself.

Im surprised some people havent figure out, well into adulthood, that going against your boss publicly often doesnt lead to a desirable outcome. This isnt a pro Elon comment because you can absolutely hate that guy, but still be aware of important life lessons.

I'm surprised some people haven't figured out that the employee probably gave 0 fucks or was planning on exiting anyway.

Its obvious the fired dude didn't give a shit at that point.

Anyone looking at this like the fired guy got owned is a total fucking moron.

why would that guy do it in public. sounds like really bad employee attitude in any company.

you only do things like that if you're trying to make the company look bad on purpose. if you were trying to help its image, you would work with the company.

it's kinda childish honestly.
