Noam Blum put this corrective on employee activism against management best, if in a NSFW manner. (snip) An open letter to SpaceX decrying CEO Elon Musk’s recent behavior has sparked open discussion among the company’s employees in an internal chat system. Employees are being encouraged to sign onto the letter’s suggestions, (snip) SpaceX has reportedly fired the employees who released an open letter this week criticizing CEO Elon Musk and referring to his recent behavior as a “distraction and embarrassment” to the company.
In fact, SpaceX’s president alleged, it was the petitioners who bullied and harassed their fellow employees:

How stupid these libtards are. Did they expect to keep their jobs after trashing their boss?

I would bet they are Biden voters, who lost their minds when Musk voted republican in Texas. Now they can look for a job that fits their IQ.

Question is, who put these Woketards up to this "Letter" stunt? Wanna bet it was their local DNC leadership?
On the Plus side: This will shut down stupidity in the ranks.
On the Minus side: SpaceX will probably risk some Federal inquiries due to their having numerous government contracts, which always opens the door for Federal snooping/snarking.

I can't imagine the mentality it takes to openly attack your boss like this. If you don't like where you work, get another job. I've had no problem walking out of a job where the boss was insane. But to publicly trash your place of employment and not expect a response? These folks truly live in lala land.

"SpaceX’s reputation" is based only on their success of launching
and returning safely the rocket and content.
NOT allegations of sexual harassment against Musk.

Well Biden is crashing the stock market, so I imagine Spacex and Tesla have lost quite a few million. This makes the staff cutbacks easier and more justifiable.

I hope Musk’s example of common sense inspires some of the spineless owners/managers of other corporations to do the same.
As a plus for reading the entire article is a link to a left-wing site that deplores a tweet Musk made regarding Bill Gates and Microsoft’s emoji of a pregnant man. Trump couldn’t have done better.

The signatories to the letter are probably leftist SJWs. They are used to demanding their colleges do this or that, and the colleges stupidly give in. Now they are in the corporate world. I'm glad to see they got what they have coming, and not what they wanted.

From what I read, they got rid of a bunch of self important pansies. You can send a letter like that if you plan to resign, and don't expect a referral.
Musk simply brought the insubordination to its conclusion.
Freedom of speech only applies to general public speech. If you get a paycheck, don't dis the signer.

The CEO of Kraken was on Varney this morning. Looks like your typical leftist Gen Z / millennial (scruffy beard, manbun) but is offering 4 months of severance pay to any employee who insists on spewing wokism on company time using company facilities - of which 30 have opted to take, so far. Was asked about those who won't leave: "They'll be managed out the hard way." Says the company is in business to provide financial services to 2nd- and 3rd-world countries - there's no time to be debating what are strictly 1st-world issues. How refreshing.

This just goes to prove the old adage true: Don't bite the hand that feeds you. I'm sure there are lines of people waiting to fill the newly open jobs at Space X.

Their timing is perfect. Manage to get yourself fired right at the beginning of what looks like a deep recession. Good luck, finding another job. Oh, and since they were fired for cause, they are not eligible for employment insurance. Morons, we don’t need them.
