I came across an interesting article titled “Elon Musk apologises to sacked Twitter worker over online row.” This article caught my attention because we all know that Elon Musk is not one to shy away from controversies, especially on social media. The article talks about how he recently apologized to a former Tesla employee, who he had sacked last year after a heated exchange on Twitter.
According to the article, the online row happened last year when the former employee, who was in charge of Tesla’s social media accounts, replied to Musk’s tweet with a sarcastic comment about pay. Musk, who is known for his quick wit and sharp comebacks, did not take too kindly to the comment and fired the employee.
After a year of reflection, Musk recently reached out to the former employee and apologized for his behavior. The article cites that the apology was well received and the two have since made amends.
The article sheds light on Musk’s past controversies on social media, including his infamous tweet about taking Tesla private, which had landed him in legal trouble. It also explains how his aggressive behavior on social media has in many cases caused headaches for his companies, Tesla and SpaceX.
This article provides an interesting perspective on the power of social media and how it can affect the careers and lives of ordinary people, even those who work for high-profile individuals like Elon Musk. The incident serves as a reminder to think before we post anything on social media, especially when it comes to dealing with our employers or people in positions of power.
