Elon Musk's overnight round of Twitter firings target some outspoken critics of the billionaire. 'It's free speech unless it's about him,' one former worker said.

as a mercurial boss who is quick to fire those working at his companies and retaliate against critics.

One current employee said the overnight firings seemed to target many people in a large internal Slack group at Twitter called Social Watercooler who had either alluded to criticism of Musk or did so outright. The group has for years been a place where Twitter employees were openly critical of management or company decisions, alongside casual chatter, and a place where people had voiced frustration with Musk since he first invested in the company early this year.

One person fired apparently for their activity on the watercooler channel is a senior lawyer at Twitter who on Thursday messaged the entire group of about 2,000 people in the thread, according to copies of the message seen by Insider and previously reported by The Verge.

It’s good to be the boss

When did free speech become ridiculing your Boss or CEO or Senior Management!! What wld Business Insider if their employees choose to the same on Twitter or write a post on the News Website?

You don’t have a right to dictate another’s business. It’s not everyone’s speech that is required to be heard. You’re free not to listen or to participate.

If you want serious people to remain subscribed to your channel BI, get off the high horse and get back down to the real issues we face at the close of 2022. I’ve got no opinion on favour or against elonmusk but your allergy to him is embarrassing. Stop it.

They just mad they can’t afford to buy a company like that and fire whoever they want it’s his company now if you don’t share the same views he has every right to get rid of you it’s not like working at Walmart

lol very 'the emperor has no clothes' vibes lol

If an employee bad mouthes their employer they should be fired! They obviously can’t be trusted and it’s the employers prerogative.

No, it’s about employees who shoot their mouths off in regards the man who signs their checks.

Stop it. He just rehired Ligma and Johnson

guess he is the boss ! has every right to fire insubordinate and disrespectful employees ….

time to clear out the dead weight.. and, clearly, the dead weight already carried an agenda that didn’t align w/ Musk’s vision of free speech/expression in the Twitter “public square” 🙂

Nobody silenced them, they can all still tweet their complains. And don’t forget to tag the tweeter complain hotline operator. lovespeech

Cute

'Black Twitter' turns to humor to mourn Twitter under Elon Musk'Black Twitter' is turning to humor to mourn Twitter as they know it as the social platform takes on a new form under Elon Musk Sounds Racist, to me. Let’s see how a White-Twitter is embraced. They turn to humor, you turn to race-baiting. Sounds status quo

'Black Twitter' turns to humor to mourn Twitter under Elon Musk'Black Twitter' is turning to humor to mourn Twitter as they know it as the social platform takes on a new form under Elon Musk Would be a nice change from Black twitters constant rampant rutting and their never ending grifting for reparations. Nah don’t pull ‘black’ twitter into this. Just make your MSM talking point you really intended to without the usage of blackness. When black twitter talk about reparations and every other important topic you have no interest. So cut the B.S. Nothing had happened. Bunch of crybabies.
