Twitter owner Elon Musk, who has called himself a “free speech absolutist”, has resorted to firing company engineers who publicly criticise him on the social-media service.

In one case, Musk announced the firing in a tweet. In another, the former employee said he was fired after he openly rebuked Musk.

Engineer Eric Frohnhoefer, who worked on Twitter’s app for the Android mobile operating system, on Sunday reposted one of Musk’s tweets with a comment, saying that Musk’s understanding of a technical part of Twitter’s app was “wrong”. Musk replied and asked Frohnhoefer to elaborate, before writing, “Twitter is super slow on Android. What have you done to fix that?”

After attempting to explain his thinking in a number of tweets, Frohnhoefer was asked by another user why he hadn’t shared his feedback with his new boss privately. The engineer, who has worked at Twitter for more than eight years, replied, “maybe he should ask questions privately. Maybe use Slack or email”.

On Monday morning, Musk wrote that Frohnhoefer had been fired. Frohnhoefer retweeted that post, and included a emoji that many employees used when they were laid off earlier this month. Twitter and Frohnhoefer didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment on his status.

Ok. So DM also don’t like Elon. Will think twice believing all the crap DM is publishing.

He needs more people who will tell him the truth. Hiding from it is not the way to run a business.

There is no contradiction in supporting free speech and also knowing there can be consequences for what you say. He thinks you should be able tobsay what you want... at your own peril of course...

Free speech has consequences.

Free speech is never fun when one is at the receiving end

Lol talk shit about your boss publicly and still want to keep your job? 🤣

Of course! Did we expect anything else?

He didn’t suspend them on Twitter. Their accounts are still active on the platform for any free speech. As an employer, he can fire people who are dragging his name on social media.
