Musk calls himself a free speech absolutist, but he's been firing people who disagree with him.
According to Platformer'sCaseyNewton, Musk is going to fire anyone who criticizes him on the social giant's slack channels.
Former employees were told over email that their employment was over. Your recent actions have violated company policy.
After the firings, Musk made fun of them.
He apologized for firing the people. Their talent will be used elsewhere.
We don't know how many people have been affected by the change, but it's another sign that Musk's efforts to dismantle the status quo atTwitter are well underway.
Musk's thin skin and limited patience were underscored by the news.
Since Musk took over, the work culture has been shaken to its core by that type of managerial style.
The most recent firings seem to be in violation of the established culture of the micro-blogging site.
A culture of internal dissent has been cultivated by the social networking site.
He said that no internal codes of conduct have changed. This is all out of the ordinary.
Employees are forced to work from the office or quit if they want to. Musk has taken it upon himself to work seven days a week.
Employees were looking for a way out.
"After 12 amazing years and three weeks of chaos, I'm officially fired by Twitter," wrote a former employee who pushed back on Musk's claim that bad code was to blame for the performance issues. I didn't think I'd stay this long, but I'm relieved to be gone.
Eric Frohnhoefer was fired by Musk on Monday after refuting Musk's claims that the app was slow.
It's possible that the company is going through some rough weeks and months ahead.
Roughly half of the company's employees were terminated abruptly and many were asked to return just days later.
The company is vulnerable to litigation and increased government scrutiny due to a large number of high-level execs fleeing.
Musk is going to weed out people who don't agree with him and his leadership on a new day.
The most likely outcome is that it will be run by his supporters.
It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that Musk's other ventures are being run.
Chris Sacca argued in a thread last week that Musk is alone and winging this.
He wrote that one of the biggest risks of wealth/power is no longer having anyone around you who can push back, give candid feedback, suggest alternatives, or just let you know you're wrong. Intellectual isolation leads to out-of-touch shit.
It's not clear whether Musk's approach will allow the platform to become a viable business in the long run.
Musk's extreme leadership philosophy has caused a lot of talent to leave and may cause a mess to be cleaned up.
Musk said he was overwhelmed in the interview.
