Elon Musk publicly told a Twitter staffer who criticized him that he was fired, but hours later, the worker still appeared to be employed, suggesting chaos continues to reign.
“He’s fired,” Musk declared on Monday morning.Hours after Musk supposedly terminated software engineer Eric Frohnhoefer, he was still active on Slack and responding to messages, according to a person familiar with the matter, suggesting that he had not formally been axed., gutting large swaths of the business. Many employees found out they were no longer employed after losing access to Slack and other internal platforms.
The technical specifics mattered less than Frohnhoefer’s reply: “I have spent ~6yrs working on Twitter for Android and can say this is wrong,” he wrote. Frohnhoefer, whose LinkedIn profile lists him as #OpenToWork, wasn’t the only tweep to challenge Musk., “As the former tech lead for timelines infrastructure at Twitter, I can confidently say this man has no idea wtf he's talking about.”
