Apparently there is no limit to what Elon Musk is capable of.

Over the weekend, Twitter's boss fired 4,400 of Twitter's 5,500 contractor employees and on Monday fired engineer Eric Fraunhofer, who had six years of experience at the company, via a tweet.

It all started when Musk apologized for Twitter being slow in some countries and blamed the company's systems.

Fronhofer tweeted in response that it was not true and the two got into an argument.

When another surfer turned to Musk and his fleet.

"It seems you don't want him on your team," the latter replied: "He's fired."

Shortly thereafter, Fraunhofer's access to the systems was blocked.

And that was, it turns out, just the appetizer.

Also because of this affair, which apparently became the talk of the day on Twitter, a conversation was created in the Slack system, the instant messaging platform that is very popular in organizations in the US (and not only that, some people use it as a replacement for Facebook and other channels). In this system, if you are looking for good news, to monitor conversations, and Musk searched and searched. About 20 employees, according to estimates, received notices yesterday (Tuesday) that their jobs were terminated - and they suspect it happened because of Slack chats. One of them, Nick Morgan, has 11 years of experience with the company , revealed the email he received.

More in Walla!

Sasha Solomon was also fired, and she also thinks it happened because of a message on the platform: "I was just fired for shitposting," she wrote, "I've said it before and I'll say it again: kick my ass, Alon."

Yes, Twitter seems to be a really fun place to work.
