A fired Twitter engineer urged remaining employees to 'disobey' Elon Musk, calling it their 'moral duty' to challenge the new billionaire owner

A person who was recently fired from the company urged employees to "disobey" Musk and said they had a moral obligation to keep him in check.

It is your moral duty to disobey if your personal situation allows for it. To take action. To make a statement. To quote the man, "When he lies on social media." The former engineer wrote on social media that he wanted to keep looking after his wife.

The former employee used to work in the UK.

The 20 employees who were fired overnight were the ones who had publicly challenged and pushed back against Musk since he took over the company.

The former employee didn't reply immediately.

Since Musk completed his takeover, the social media giant has been hit by a number of firings.

Since buying the platform, Musk has laid off thousands of employees, axed content moderation teams, and allowed users to buy blue check verification badges.

The resulting chaos has led advertisers, who are the bulk of the revenue, to quietly back away.
