Why didn't he whistle blow before he lost his job?

We need similar legislation in Canada, to protect whistleblowers

Wait. Isn't that what Elon's said?

I wonder how much Elon bribed them.

I don't doubt his claims, but come on! U do it after they fire you?! Any legit claims u make now comes across as 'just a disgruntled emp stirring up doo-doo after being sacked'. U took the air out of your own tires.

I wonder how much Elon paid him

Discovery portion of the ‘trial’ is going to be great 👍

Elon was right all along! Protect the whistleblower!! Twitter shares may be in a free fall with all their uncooperative behaviour all along.

oh no! Elon was right after all

I see a lot of those fake accounts on CBC. Easily spotted by supporting Trudeau. TrudeauHasGotToGo

Baffling, who could of thought twitter was lying!?

Elon is happy.

Like Diagolon, a little pressure and people of integrity speak out.
