SpaceX Illegally Fired Workers Critical of Musk, Federal Agency Says

If anything we should give him less leeway, since he has so much power. I know it's a cheesy Spider-Man quote, but "with great power comes great responsibility". Also "power corrupts".

So to give this a serious answer, why not ? Most but not all of the world has made this illegal because it’s generally viewed as harmful, to society, to the business and to the owner him self quite often. Companies are social enterprises and enjoy the rights with atleast in theory on the perimis that they benefit society in general as well as their stakeholders. Firing an individual who is performing their duties well doesn’t really benefit anyone. Not even Musk, who seems to have always had a particularly thin skin. TLDR it’s not just Musks money/company, nor is he even acting in his own best interests IMO.

> It also said a company vice president had broken the law by criticizing the letter at a meeting with employees a few days after it was circulated

Weird, breaking the law for just criticizing a letter written by employees? The judge might overturn this on the basis of free speech.
