criticizing CEO Elon Musk and referring to his recent behavior as a “distraction and embarrassment” to the company.

Freedom to speak your mind doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. Go tell your boss you don’t like him and think he is a poor leader. See what happens
First Amendment rights do not exist and work, and I am thankful for that fact. Now, get to work.
You’re supposed to have some level of loyalty and professional respect for your boss even if you don’t like them. That’s not a free speech issue- not knowing the difference is exactly why some people have issues at their job. You don’t publicly bash the boss
They can just start their own Space X.
Um yeah. If I trash my boss he or she would likely fire me. That's how it works.
Good, they only believe that they have the right to free speech.
They are being paid for work at SpaceX and not for open letters or so called ripping.... elonmusk did the right thing so that they can find a job of ripping and open letters somewhere else.
Why not !
The boss isn't always right, but he's always the boss
Yaaayy - cool jobs just opened up!
At will workers should not bite the hand of the man who feeds them!
Dern capitalists.....They just fire the ones not happy with the paycheck...that's harsh...
Now Libs are playing hypocrites again. Try doing your job.
Read the letter before you comment. They wanted to silence Elon on Twitter
Good. Bye-bye children...

leggo my ego ... apparently Free speech has its limitations ...
