The owner of Twitter Inc., who calls himself a “defender of free speech,” has fired an engineer at the company who – publicly – disagreed with him over the implementation of the platform on Android phones.
The dialogue and disagreement between Musk and the employee about the operation of Twitter on Android took place through … Twitter, as well as the dismissal of Eric Frohnhoefer, who worked on the development of this application for 8 years.
The Twitter spat began when Musk apologized for the fact that the Android app is “super slow in many countries,” saying it was because the app was poorly developed.

The text dialogue continued until Musk finally tweeted: “You’re fired.”
A little later he deleted his tweet but the – former – employee uploaded a photo from his computer, where access to the company’s internal platform has been cut off.
