An employee at the twitter company was fired, Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter announced on his Twitter account after the employee called him out publicly.
On Sunday, Musk apologized for the app’s slow performance of Twitter, the billionaire tweeted on his personal wall, “I’d like to apologize for Twitter being super slow in many countries, App is doing >1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render a home timeline!”
Writing, “I have spent ~6yrs working on Twitter for Android and can say this is wrong,” Eric Frohnhoefer, an apparent employee at the company, responded to Musk.
A short while afterwards, Musk wrote:
“Then please correct me. What is the right number? ” A respond directly to Frohnhoefer. “Twitter is super slow on Android, what have you done to fix that?” he added.
Then please correct me. What is the right number?

Musk “should ask questions privately” via “Slack or email,” Frohnhoefer suggested in response to another user who argued that criticizing Musk publicly was a poor idea.
“He’s fired,” Musk replied, a response to another account that pointed out Frohnhoefer’s tweets.
Claiming that Musk was not telling the truth about how much food was costing the company, a tweet from a former executive at the company, Musk also slammed the employee over the weekend.
Musk had “plans to begin making employees pay for lunch — which had been free — at the company cafeteria,” the New York Times reported late last week.
“Given that almost no one came to the office,” Musk had said that it was “bizarre” that the company was paying for the employee’s food. Adding that, “Estimated cost per lunch served in past 12 months is >$400.”
“This is a lie. I ran this program up until a week ago when I resigned because I didn’t want to work for @elonmusk For breakfast & lunch we spent $20-$25 a day per person. This enabled employees to work thru lunchtime & mtgs. Attendance was anything from 20-50% in the offices,” Former Twitter executive Tracy Hawkins wrote, a response to Musk’s tweet. To which Musk replied, “False.”
He wrote, “Twitter spends $13M/year on food service for SF HQ. Badge in records show peak occupancy was 25%, average occupancy below 10%. There are more people preparing breakfast than eating breakfast. They don’t even bother serving dinner, because there is no one in the building.”
