I'm sorry, but no. If the boss doesn't like what you say or how you say it you can expect to be fired, especially if they are as fragile as Elon has turned out to be and you are doing it in public. Elon is coming off as a childish clown in this entire Twitter mess but as long as he's not banning people from Twitter for speaking out against him then it's not "cancel culture" at all.
It isnt cancel culture and I am sorry cancel culture isnt new. It has gone on forever. Tell someone that was gay in the past that stayed in the closet for fear of being what people now call cancelled, hell we had countries even 1st world countries that would kill gay people. WW2 hero Alan Turing you know the guy who broke the Nazi Enigma machine code was chemically castrated and imprisoned in England for being gay. Of course the Dixie Chicks were cancelled for not supporting the Iraq war. Lets not forget the Hollywood Black list of the 1940s and 1950s when the right made all sorts of accusations of people being communists. Could go on and on about figures and beliefs over the ages that were so called cancelled.
I just wanna know when coast to coast FSD is coming out. Been almost 6 years since Elon promised it at the end of 2017. 
so you value twitter brand name at 43b ... lol ... cmon
yup. I noticed that as well. He also loves to chat with Tom Fitton (stop the steal guy, involved with legal efforts to overturn 2020 etc)
FSD like REAL FSD - Level 4 at minimum and definitely hands-free and not having to watch at all times like a hawk and liability is with the driver ? ... probably not with the existing cars and no LIDAR / Radar input...I just wanna know when coast to coast FSD is coming out. Been almost 6 years since Elon promised it at the end of 2017.
You know the answer. We ALL know the answer. Two weeks.I just wanna know when coast to coast FSD is coming out. Been almost 6 years since Elon promised it at the end of 2017.

Amazing she wasn't fired sooner as she's been vocally bitter for months. Hoepfully she's more intelligent than she presents online although the caliber of Twitter staffing suggests not.

What a load of crap. Disgruntled x-employee.
I'm sorry, but AGAIN - Twitter is not a complicated application, nor is it a complicated multi-server setup.

That post was before being fired but def disgruntled. Seems like another person who didn't want to stay at Twitter after Elon took over. I've seen a lot of seemingly tech savvy people saying Elon doesn't know what he's talking about and explaining why but I have zero knowledge on the topic to judge accurately.
Another reason to pay $44 billion for it

The bias in those people make what they say have to be taken with a gigantic grain of salt.
I again stand by what I have said previously - this is some neural net programming with AI, Twitter is based on 20-year old technology that is well-established in the hosting industry and web programming industries. It's a whole lot simpler tech than Tesla and SpaceX. If Elon can "master" those techs, I have zero reason to believe he doesn't know what he is doing regarding the tech at Twitter (I'm not talking social aspects - you guys can debate that till you are blue in the face).

He admitted he over-paid, what more do you want? To continue to echo on the same dumb point?
He was also buying a "customer base" much more than the tech. He also freely said that.

It appears complex enough Elon keeps not understanding how it works and isn't bothering to take a minute to actually learn before throwing switches.
Yet ANOTHER example just came up... remember yesterday he announced he was turning off a bunch of services because they're not actually important?
Turns out at least one of them was.

I would argue she's immature rather than unintelligent. Consequences being the same.

Not exactly what I was referring to. I was referring more to what it is coded in, and the sysadmin-side of the server setup (PHP, DB cluster, etc.).
That's features within the code, which I could really care less about. He will figure that out, eventually, but if it's as "well run" as the rest of Twitter, it's probably is poorly documented in the actual code.
I was referring to more server-side stuff, which he's looking to cut in order save $$$. Still a lot of low-hanging fruit there.
Now look who she was responding to when you talk about immaturity.
