Elon Musk: ‘Chief Twit’ fires Twitter engineer publicly for presenting facts

Elon Musk: The new CEO of Twitter, does not enjoy answering questions from his staff, at least not publicly. One of the seasoned engineers was among the recent hires that Musk let go because he questioned Musk on Twitter. Engineer Eric Frohnhoefer, with whom Musk had a Twitter argument, was fired, according to Musk. It’s interesting to note that Frohnhoefer was unaffected by the global layoffs that resulted in the loss of more than 3000 jobs. He was fired as a result of his Twitter argument with Musk.

Update: Musk has since removed the post that claimed to have dismissed an engineer for engaging in a Twitter argument with him

Musk and Frohnhoefer’s argument started over a message about Twitter being slow. Musk apologised for Twitter being “very sluggish in many countries” in a message on Sunday. Soon after, Frohnhoefer replied to Musk’s tweet, saying, “I have spent 6yrs working on Twitter for Android and can tell this is false.” Frohnhoefer was soon fired from his position after a tense Twitter exchange between Musk and Frohnhoefer.

The two battled nonstop about Twitter’s technological difficulties. Infuriated by Frohnhoefer’s abrupt responses, Musk eventually questioned him about Twitter’s Sunday performance. Twitter is really sluggish on Android. He asked, “What have you done to fix that?” Three hours later, the dialogue was still going on, but it was becoming less clear.

Others who supported Musk and condemned Frohnhoefer for disputing with Musk on a public stage entered the Twitter discussion as well. He responded by adding that Musk should make his inquiries in private. He suggested “maybe using Slack or email.”

Musk’s Tweet

Musk revealed that he had let Frohnhoefer go in a series of tweets. He used a saluting emoji in his tweet response to Musk.

According to Frohnhoefer, who spoke to Forbes, he didn’t get any official notices of his termination from the business. He said, “My laptop just shut off and I can’t get into it.”

The engineer, 41, has used Twitter for more than 8 years. He found it difficult to comprehend how suddenly his relationship with the corporation ended.

“No one trusts anyone within the company anymore,” he claimed. “How can you function? Employees don’t trust the new management. Management doesn’t trust the employees. How do you think you’re supposed to get anything done? That’s why there’s production freezes – you can’t merge code, you can’t turn things on without permission from VPs,” he said.
