Elon Musk has been firing various Twitter employees for trash talking him and the company. Anyone who has ever held a job in the real world knows this is completely normal.
NEW: Employees who have criticized Elon Musk in Twitter’s Slack channels were fired overnight over email.
“We regret to inform you that your employment is terminated immediately,” they’re being told over email. “Your recent behavior has violated company policy.”

Frank Luntz, the dial man, seems to think he has caught Musk in some sort of gotcha over free speech.
The “free speech absolutist” has had a change of heart. https://t.co/imfbAYeRXp

This isn’t the own that Luntz thinks it is.
You can’t be this dumb

Has Luntz ever had a boss?
You don’t have free speech at work against your employer lol

That’s normally what happens when you criticize your boss.

Don’t forget, this is a man who helps shape policy.
Frank thinks free speech being suppressed is the same thing as employees trashing their employer is not actionable. Frank is also apparently a moron. Stop letting Franks make public policy. https://t.co/BANeIEjrdO

Does Frank even realize that no one’s free speech has been taken away?
Frank doesn’t understand that every single person who got fired is still free to speak. https://t.co/ih7fDpGvqL

Has anybody torched their own brand more than Frank Luntz over the past 5 years? https://t.co/eCCRK8oORZ

Frank should know better than this.
Do better, Frank.
