Elon Musk officially took over Twitter in late October when his $44 billion acquisition of the social media platform finally became official. Since then, the SpaceX owner has used the platform to publicly share strategies to improve the platform and turn it profitable. Now, after an employee spoke out against Musk\u2019s tactics, he\u2019s seemingly fired them in front of his 115 million followers. Elon Musk seemingly fires Twitter employee via tweet The incident kicked off on November 13 when Elon offered an apology for the social media app\u2019s performance in some countries and said, \u201cI\u2019d like to apologize for Twitter being super slow in many countries. The app is doing >1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render a home timeline!\u201d Eric Frohnhoefer, an engineer at Twitter, replied, \u201cI have spent ~6yrs working on Twitter for Android and can say this is wrong.\u201d Elon retorted, \u201cThen please correct me. What is the right number? Twitter is super slow on Android. What have you done to fix that?\u201d Then, the CEO of the company simply replied, \u201cHe\u2019s fired.\u201d Since the apparent public firing, Eric has not removed his employment from his Twitter bio on the social media platform.
