Musk fired two IT professionals for disagreeing with his opinion

Musk bought Twitter at the end of October and immediately fired the board of directors, also laying off some of the employees and terminating the ability to work remotely. In the new position, the entrepreneur set out to innovate. Specifically, he allowed users to purchase a blue check mark to confirm the authenticity of an account. However, the company soon canceled this service due to the increasing number of trolls posing as celebrities.

In another post, Musk apologized that the Twitter app on Android devices is too slow. In response, one of the company’s IT specialists, Eric Fronhofer, wrote that he had been supporting the app for about six years and could not confirm the statement of his boss.

Musk’s response was immediate, the businessman entered into a discussion with the engineer and asked him what he had done to solve the slow loading problem of the application. Later, the person in charge of Twitter announced the dismissal of Fronhofer. A former employee of the company told Forbes that he did not receive any notification. A few hours after the skirmish with Musk, his corporate laptop simply stopped working.

Musk took a similar action against another of his employees, Ben Leib, who worked at the company for about 10 years. In a post about the slow loading of the Twitter app, Leib said the businessman “has no idea what he’s talking about.” After that, he too was fired.
