So what does that really mean for those he outright fired? They didn't "resign".no one who (stupidly) responded to that email to resign would have taken any effect anyway.

Were there air traffic controllers fired? I saw reports about some upper management at the faa and related, but haven't seen anything here.

Tbh I have no idea at this point. I read info he did fire people, but I'm seeing conflicting reports between his actions, intent, the deferred layoffs and later cancelation of the deferred layoffs.
It's all a twisted yarn:

In a country with the rule of law, employers can't generally take away these kind of things when they've promised them - this got Musk in to trouble when he made a generous severance offer in Europe and had to actually follow through on it.
In America? Who knows.
