Elon Musk has resorted to terminating company engineers who openly disagree with him on the social media platform.
The argument started when Elon Musk apologized for the Twitter Android app being “super slow in many countries.”
Elon tweeted, “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!”
After that, Eric Frohnhoefer, a Twitter engineer, who worked on the Twitter Android app asserted that Mr. Musk’s statement was inaccurate in a quote tweet.
Eric acknowledged that Android has “plenty of room for performance improvements,” and disagreed with Musk’s explanation for the origin of the speed issues.
Eric claimed that the poor network communication were the real causes of the app issues.
He further recommended Twitter to prioritize streamlining the app by getting rid of unnecessary features and limiting the number of new ones.
A Twitter user asked Eric as to why he hadn’t privately given his new boss his opinion.
While this was going on, one of the users tagged Musk and asked if he wanted “this kind of attitude” on his team. Musk spoke bluntly and responded, ” He’s Fired”.
