What employee protections are you talking about in California and New York?

Both are at will states. So easy to hire, easy to fire.

The WARN act for one, which Musk may have violated. California also mandates sick leave and family leave for both parents of a newborn child.

When California says you can fire an employee for any reason, what they really mean is any reason except for a bunch of reasons we've decided are unacceptable.
