One with a highly skilled position that can easily walk into a job whenever they want AND now gets to call out of a dumb fucking piece of shit that doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

Good for that dude speaking out. You don't throw your team under the bus.

There have been talks about how shit Elon is as an employer since Tesla. I heard it was bad, but I didn't know he was this bad.

I've literally seen employees get into arguments with managers about how to conduct an operation or how to manage staffing, one even kicked the manager out of the work area and forbid him from coming back and making changes without permission.

A good manager should listen and take advice when he's talking with a much more senior and knowledgeable employee. Elon Musk ain't it. People simping over Musk being a shitty boss just really come off like they've never had a job before.

But you do this on a public setting to shame your boss or are you a professional and knlw there is a time and place to talk back.

Did my boss publicly shame me, on a platform that he explicitly says is for free speech and to bring power back to the people?

Fuck around and find out.

Im surprised some people havent figure out, well into adulthood, that going against your boss publicly often doesnt lead to a desirable outcome. This isnt a pro Elon comment because you can absolutely hate that guy, but still be aware of important life lessons.

If my boss doesn't like facts he can fuck off and hire someone less competent. Considering this guy worked at Twitter for years he's probably fine financially.

Elon Musk is sounding so much like Trump.

Trump is said to be insolvent. Newsweek says Trump defaulted on $340,000 to Deutsche Bank.

Now I wonder whether Musk is insolvent because he loves publicly making outrageous statements.

He spoke out and is now in a much better place. Gets to leave shitty Twitter with a severance package, and he's received multiple job offers that don't have Elon Musk as a boss. Seems like he won to me.

What if your boss was lighting the building on fire and you already had a job lined up to start next week?

I know this might be crazy for Elon simps to understand... but...

people have ethics and/or confidence and/or skill and/or motivation

You don't have to be an Elon simp to be successful in life. Dude has like 6-10 years of software engineering experience, he can get a job that doesn't involve sucking micro-dick all day.

Dude definitely already accepted an offer elsewhere.

There's no need to feel sorry for any engineers at Twitter. They are getting headhunted like mad and all of them will find new work under a boss that isn't an asshole.

If you want to feel sorry for someone feel for the content moderators.

I'm surprised he didn't just tell him to go fuck himself then. O_o

You gotta take the B.S. in life at least till you reached that point. Somehow i'm in that spot, but have yet to have that moment. First boss was kind of a work bully who talked down to people, but by the time i was secure i had a nice boss.

Least i got to be a nightmare in the office with my eccentric antics.

Elon's original tweet is such a typical, clueless management statement. Basically, the original engineers know the problem, and people play telephone up the management chain until upper management hears it, and it becomes some useless junk. It's a miracle corporations even run at all sometimes with how much wrong information is at the top.

No that's something you don't want to ever do. There's no reason for it. You're just being rude for rudeness' sake. Defending yourself from a boss publicly lying about the product you've spent 6 years working on is a different story.

Heck, it kind of sounds like Elon didn't even know the guy worked there, so he was trying to pull a "you have to be very smart to watch Rick and Morty" except seriously.

And then it turned out that guy actually worked there and knew what he was talking about, so Elon fired him out of embarrassment.

You know, I never even looked at Elon's twitter page before, and everything on his page screams the Ricky and Morty thing. He uses tons of jargon so regular people who don't know wtf he's talking think he's right, and people in the know are just like...yeah...that's wrong. It was the same shit with the submarine thing in Thailand.

Ex-Android Dev here. Android development is a mid to high level development that you simply don't just waltz in and claim to know things. It's having to play a lot by Google's ruleset and having numerous widely complex dependencies that only very small portion of the devs will have any idea to understand its full interactions with even a small part of the app. Changing one thing without understanding the overall scope, which btw doesn't take a few days like Elon seems to think, could feasibly break the entire app, though there are a bunch of things in place that tries to prevent this. You're not even supposed to be able to merge your branches to any branches remotely near production without long code review from your superiors, let alone a bunch of test cases in place that would stop the basic to intermediate errors.

The fact, though, that Elon was able to even implement some of his dumbass ideas immediately, probably meant that the developmental cycle was pretty stable and flexible. They probably do have problems that are far less surface level that they work on on a daily basis that contribute to Elon's complaint about the app being "slow," but generally most of those delays come from people as egomaniacal as Elon trying to implement everything they've heard from some backwater conference.

As to them letting Elon break shit, they're 100% doing it on purpose. They probably bypassed most of their test cases to stop Elon from throwing a fit, and it broke things, as it should.

I have to wonder if Elon even knows how to read Java, even though anybody worth a damn in this type of industry should. But if they're using Kotlin, Elon 100% does not know how to read that shit lmao. Kotlin is basically a language made to facilitate Android dev, though it's a controversial language, and Java essentially still serves every function.
