It wasn't vicious or demeaning. It was rather bluntly showing that senior leadership (Joel Kaplan basically) bends the rules for their political buddies.

He wasn't fired for how he said it. The post was taken down for that. He was fired because he demonstrated that leadership is dishonest. They rewrote norms on the fly to justify firing over normal access to non-user data.

From further down the comments: "robber baron, slaver, and plunderer"

Calling people by those things in a work environment might not be the best strategy to demonstrate process irregularities.

That's how I like to describe Trump. He's not willfully destroying the fabric of our society, he's just prone to process irregularities.
