A group of employees at the company were fired for circulating an open letter that criticized the company's founder. Hundreds of employees signed a letter calling on Musk's company to take a harder stance on sexual harassment by holding all leadership accountable.
The letter criticized Musk's behavior and said it was not good for the company's image. The New York Times reported that the letter said that Elon's behavior in the public sphere was a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment. Every message that Elon sends is a public statement by the company as he is the CEO and most prominent spokesman.
Smoking marijuana on Joe Rogan's show was one of the actions that caused the share prices of his companies to go down. The tide of public opinion about him has shifted from being a lovable rogue to something more serious. He has been accused by a flight attendant of sexual harassment for which he denied and he has also been sued for creating a "toxic" workplace.
With Musk's offer to buy Twitter, he has gained even more attention, with him replying to critics of the company and sparking online attacks against them. According to the Times, employees of the company wrote an open letter in which they said that the company should separate itself from the personal brand of its founder.
A number of employees who organized and distributed the letter were fired by Thursday afternoon according to the Times. At least five employees have been fired due to the letter. These firings may have been illegal under labor laws that protect the rights of workers to organize.
