Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter Inc., has resorted to sacking company engineers who openly disagree with him on the social media platform. Musk has referred to himself as a "free speech absolutist."
In one instance, Musk tweeted the news of the firing. In another, the ex-employee said he was let go after publicly criticizing Musk.
Musk responded and asked Frohnhoefer to elaborate before writing, "Twitter is super slow on Android."
Frohnhoefer, an engineer who worked on Twitter's app for the Android mobile operating system, reposted one of Musk's tweets on Sunday with a comment,
saying that Musk's understanding of a technical aspect of Twitter's app was "wrong." How did you resolve that? ”
Frohnhoefer attempted to articulate his thoughts in a number of tweets, but one person questioned him as to why he hadn't privately given his new boss his opinion.
