Maybe you saw the news today that a Twitter engineer got fired by Elon, over Twitter.

I talked to him.

Hours have gone by and he's still had no messaging from the company.

He doesn't even know where to send his company laptop.

@cfarivar This highlights another weird thing I’ve noticed before about Elon Musk - apart from being impulsive (everybody knows that), he’s also weirdly suggestible. So much, like to a really unusual extent. I really do wonder if he would have fired the guy if people hadn’t hinted he should it in the replies…

@stephengentle @cfarivar when your ego is super brittle (like 45) and you do this sort of shit in public, he’d “be a cuck” if he didn’t fire the guy. Which means anyone can squeeze his ego and make him dance. It’d be sad if it wasn’t so pathetic.
