I am sure Musk has lot but issues but he has repeatedly said and acted like he is fine with consequences of his speech. Like he is fine with advertisers leaving twitter/X[1] for his speech. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK91Ji6GCZ8

1. The advertisers didn't leave Twitter (in the instance being discussed there) because of Musk's speech, they left because it was pointed out that their ads were being displayed amongst tweets containing hate speech. 2. That interview is not him acting "fine" with those advertisers leaving; it's him emotionally lashing out in anger at them for doing so.

1. This is factually false. They're not being displayed amongst tweets containing hate speech. (The reporting group basically reverse engineered Twitter's protocol to force an ad to appear next to a hate speech comment.)

How is it MUSK's doing that a middle manager fired an employee?

Middle manager? I recommend you look who Gwynne Shotwell is within Space X. To spare you the googling, she is the CEO, but I guess under Elon Musks "leadership" everyone else is just middle management.

My apologies for the loose language. Indeed the question remains.
