Twitter Employee Decided to Talk Smack to Elon Musk via Twitter…It Didn’t End Well
Do you believe you could fight toe-to-toe with Elon Musk on social media if you worked for Twitter right now and wanted to keep your job? It doesn’t sound like a good idea, right? Well, one employee just did that and it didn’t quite turn out the way that he was expecting.
This man unquestionably represents the culture of California, which is isolated from the rest of the nation. They are the coastal elite, who are blinded by their own self-interest and virtue signaling…something that annoys me to bits.
The Twitter employee that simply doesn’t understand how the real world works is Eric Frohnheofer. After going after Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Twitter, he was let go.
First, Musk apologized for Twitter’s slowness in a number of nations, setting off the chain of events that led to his termination. Frohnheofer made the decision to tag Musk on Twitter and actually called him a liar.
Btw, I’d like to apologize for Twitter being super slow in many countries. App is doing >1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render a home timeline!

“I have spent ~6yrs working on Twitter for Android and can say this is wrong,” said Frohnhoefer.

Musk followed up with a tweet asking him directly what he has done to fix the actual problem and asked him what the right number is.
Then please correct me. What is the right number?

Twitter is super slow on Android. What have you done to fix that?

Frohnhoefer responded to another user who said that it was a bad idea to call out Musk publicly by saying Musk “should ask questions privately” by using “Slack or email.”
Musk responded to another account that pointed out Frohnhoefer’s tweets by saying, “He’s fired.”
The tweet was deleted, but apparently it really happened.

The employee actually replied back with a way to fix it, which is sufficient reason enough to fire him for knowing how to fix it and not fixing it. He said he’s been there six years and it hasn’t been fixed and instead is filled with a bunch of junk?
But with him saying that those numbers are wrong and then Elon asking what the right number is, that was his chance to shine…and he failed.
