What a unique combination of incompetence, hubris and an utterly despicable personality.

Dangerous gamble for just a couple months of severance. Would make me hesitant to hire that person knowing they have such bad judgement as to publicly badmouth the CEO of their company on Twitter. Even hiring managers who personally hate Elon have to understand that this developer could easily turn the same energy on their own company at some point in the future and make them look terrible. Definitely a career limiti…
Career ending. Go scope her experience and actual role and you'll see why she spoke so freely. She can waltz into any other company she wants. They're already coming for her in the thread lmao
Lol.. these career ending move people are the same type that would say it is risky for someone who just graduated from MIT to leave their McDonald's job. I've sued multiple previous employers and never had it come up during interviews at Fortune 50 companies. I even went to work at one company that I had previously sued and won against in a personal dispute. If you're good at your job these companies don't care, they won't put that much effort into checking, and you can always scrub your social media later on.

The first line of that tweet reads > lol just got fired for shitposting I think it's okay to say "kiss my ass" after being fired. Especially if you think doing so sends the right signal.
Her "kiss my ass elon" pinned post was from July 8. She's been publicly criticising Elon for a few days now, and not in a constructive manner like the Android dev. I can understand why she'd be let go.
Because she want like the pony flight attendant?

>It's really an opportunity for the employees to make that a reality. Elon (like his other companies) is going to put the engineers in control. Please, consider investing in some real estate. I have a fantastic property in Brooklyn and it is a deal that you would not believe! Or a less sarcastic response... You mean he'll put them in charge after firing them? Twitter literally barely works right now. I'm not sure how…
Everything he's doing is bringing Twitter inline with how SpaceX and Tesla already operate. It's a massive culture shock/change. Insubordination is not tolerated. Everyone is super mission focused. No one is irreplaceable.
You mean like how entry level jobs are ran.. people at companies like Twitter, SpaceX, etc are literally not replaceable. It won't take long for him to figure that out. It appears he's already been begging people to come back.

#175After seeing Elon mixing up all async services that happen in backend with Android client making as many requests, I wonder if I thought this guy is smart because I know nothing about building cars or launching space rockets. Edit: "guy is smart" probably should be "guy is technically competent". I am sure Elon is smart, I think he is being Phony while acting technically competent in every area.
I don’t know, throwing a hissy-fit whenever something doesn’t work out as he intended (pedo-guy, everyday twitter posts that are later altered/removed, etc), coming up with “a tunnel, but with cars” that is a fire hazard and has the capacity of horse-pulled metros from the 19th century, having only a single contribution to teslas in the form of a.. door handle (did you honestly think he knows anything about cars and rockets?), and having a tendency of overhyping and underdelivering with all of his stocks being grossly huge bubbles, meanwhile those companies have considerable government funding, and literally forcing himself into buying a company way overpriced that has never turner a profit and driving it into the ground —- I’ve never gotten the impression that he would be what I consider smart. He definitely wants to sell that image, but he is just a narcissist manchild.

#176Folks, just to set expectations here, it’s gonna be like this for a couple years. He’s going to be nanomanaging the company and learning from scratch the entire business and doing wild shit until he figures it out. And it’s going to be chaos internally and leaks left and right and ten crazy stories like this a week. The signal to noise ratio is gonna be ridiculously low and everyone’s going to get whipped up in every…
It is literally catastrophe-tourism at this point. You can’t just temporarily remove the people on a social media platform, it is dying and unless something happens very quickly, it is good as dead.
The most we can do is enjoy the comedic content while it lasts, I personally had a really great time reading these: r/RealTwitterAccounts

Yeah but his cardinal sin right now is forgetting that advertisers are small-c conservative. They despise uncertainty and drama, and have wisely fled Twitter for the time being.
They are also greedy. Twitter is where the people are, so they will advertise there.
It’s as good as building a supermarket in Chernobyl. Surely, there will be traffic but not for a reason you want.

#178Free speech man insta-fires employee for contradicting him.
His posts and account are still up. Free speech does not mean freedom from consequences
That’s a bit of a thought terminating clique, imo.
If the only consequence for saying something reasonable but contentious is unpopularity then you have free speech, but if you can be punished (banned from a public platform, or fired from a job) then you don’t.
Freedom doesn’t mean “the right to” (that’s “liberty”) - freedom has to be “effectively exercisable”, and that requires limitation on any unjust consequences.
Re: Twitter Android app dev fired: Guess it's official now.
#179I have a question. A person of such incompetence could have achieved such great success, how is that possible? In addition to being technically incompetent, he seems to be incompetent when it comes to managing people and running a business.

According to some people here you're just supposed to take it when your boss shits on your work and firing you for any push back at all is entirely justified.
We don’t know internal conversations to be fair and we’re mostly (only) putting together datapoints that we see on Twitter.
1 - according to a lot of reports from other people fired these past few days, there is no internal conversation about anything substantial, they learn more about his point of view and/or what he doesn't like in their job from his twitter posts
2 - no matter what, as a manager you are the "face" of the team and while internally you are in charge of letting people know what's wrong in their code etc ... It is extremly bad form to push the problem down to the members of your team when talking in a public facing situation. You're the manager, it's your team, you're the face, and you're also the face of the problems. No matter how deep down or high up in the chain you are, if you manage a team and behave like what Elon did in the original tweet this guy answers to, I guarantee you no one on your team respects you.
3 - the guy is in a firing spree to try and justify his overpriced unwanted purchase, and then goes on to take a dump on the work of this engineer in public with a factually wrong comment. No matter if you're my employer, you have no right to damage my reputation based on false allegations in public just to help your ego.
