Musk mutineers are FIRED: SpaceX 'terminates number of employees' who wrote letter slamming CEO's 'embarrassing' tweets and demanding that management 'swiftly and explicitly separates itself from Elon's personal brand'

SpaceX has fired some of the employees behind a letter criticizing CEO Elon Musk's 'embarrassing' and 'distracting' tweets yesterday, claiming some workers were pressured into signing it.

The letter was posted to the company’s internal communications system Wednesday, hours after Musk revealed publicly that he had voted for a Republican candidate for the first time by voting for Mayra Flores in South Texas.

In the letter, the unnamed workers gave the company's directors 'one month' to 'swiftly and explicitly separate' from 'Elon's personal brand'.

They demanded that the company become more 'inclusive', and said its 'zero asshole' policy was not enforced clearly.

If you’re not happy...leave...critiquing the boss is not a wise move....as you found out.

This should be common sense.

I would never criticise the head honcho of the company I work for publicly, unless it was a hill worth dying for, in which case I’d already have my stuff packed and ready to be escorted out.

Excellent. That’s how you handle woke employees who whine about their company. You don’t cave in to them. You just fire their azzes. If anyone else complains about that then they can join the others on the unemployment line.

Literally show them who’s boss.

I’d say this is exactly what should have happened, fire them immediately. You don’t pay people to undermine your company.

Few Americans understand the 1st Amendment and Contract Law.

You can say whatever you want on the company’s dime: at your peril.

When you're the employee, and you start making demands against the management and ownership, you're looking to get fired. But, those employees probably had other ideas in mind and are likely now being sought by the liberal media to vilify Musk and republicans.

“Hey, I know....let’s write a scathing letter criticizing the boss and post it on the company’s internal communications system for all of the other employees to see. Yeah, that’s a good idea.”
