As long as he gets the wave of approvers oohing and aahing at each of his tweets, he doesn't care about anything or anyone else. Where have I seen this behavior before? Certain egomaniacs really get addicted to their Twitter fanboys.
Let's not pretend there's that much overlap between trump fans and musk fans.

And free speech and everything else he touts. Yet again, it's an example of: don't tell Musk he is wrong, especially in public. Musk has also, presumably, removed the conversation shown here from Twitter: https://twitter.com/ichdertom/status/1592217628214722560/pho...
What's the order of events here? Between "I can say this is wrong", this "what have you done?" exchange, and "he's fired"?

I just want to say that this attitude towards employment will likely be part of the eventual downfall of the USA. The reason ? It's too risky to tell your boss the truth so when things are going bad so it's easier just not to say anything, I noticed my American colleagues will often not say anything to "the grand leader", they will maybe even encourage stupidity. Where as when I worked in Europe, that doesn't happen.…
Doubtful. The whole idea is an overgeneralization. Companies in the US fail all the time because of bad bosses, or bad managers. A boss that can’t listen to their employees eventually craters and ends up somewhere they can’t do much damage. Night manager at Arby’s or the local Foodway, for example. It’s not going to bring down society.

These sorts of incidents would be far more common if bosses shit talked their employees in the public and tanked their brand image in the process in front of their users and future employees. Fortunately, almost everyone else is smart enough to know that it's bad.
Sir, he was shit talking the app (which everybody agrees blows ass) and the dev took to Twitter to whining instead of using the internal platform. Next time your boss admits your product is trash, try shit talking a rebuttal to him on Twitter, I dare you. Elon is his father.

On the other hand, Musk seems like a child yet he is in charge of some pretty important things in the USA such as space technology?
The sad thing is that Musk and his disciples think this makes him look hardcore. Is Musk maybe the most easily-trolled person on Twitter? Parag Agarwal trolled him out of 44 billion dollars.

Those tweets are still available: https://twitter.com/EricFrohnhoefer/status/15919683432293662...
As far as I can tell, they are only available if you have the direct link. They don’t show up in the thread or on his profile.

is there any reasonable explanation for why that is the case?
The facts are in replies, not standalone Tweets, so you have to know which Tweet to start with. From his profile, click on "I have spent ~6yrs working on Twitter for Android and can say this is wrong."

Yes it is unprofessional but that CEO happens to own Twitter, so there's that. The developer is trying to armwrestle his boss in public. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Based on his timeline I think he was ready to leave anyway. I’d bet that he’ll have a new job long before Musk can find someone equally skilled willing to put up with him - fanboys are unlikely to be as good at coding as they are kissing up.
The 'device tweet was written on' looks like cargo cult of blue bubbles vs green.
it made more sense back when the API was more open and third-party clients were the norm
The blue iMessage bubbles only make sense because Apple chooses not to make an iMessage for Andriod or open the protocol. I hope iMessage goes the way of BBM. It's a $$ artifact, not technical.
