> Is it indicative that "free speech absolutist" Musk believes your right to speech ends where his feelings get hurt? Certainly!

I don't really get how musk's feelings on free speech apply here. SpaceX is not the government, and it's not a communications platform. I also think it's unfair to say "his feelings are hurt" - it seems perfectly logical to get rid of employees that so strongly disagree with the way the company is being run.

And I have to wonder, why even work there if that's how you feel? This just looks like another example of a group of people who have "problems" with their company but don't want to give up the pay that it provides them.

I think it’s probably even worse than that, it’s a group of people wanting attention and publicity, using a cause that an Elon hating mainstream can use, for mutually helping each other.

I principled person would at least quit before making a scene in the media, rather than spamming many people in the company.

This is look at me behaviour coupled with politics at its worse.
