A Twitter employee who was fired by tweet after criticizing Elon Musk ripped the billionaire and his advisers as a “bunch of cowards” — hours before the billionaire canned nearly two dozen other workers amid a brewing insurrection.
Former Twitter software engineer Eric Frohnhoefer received a public pink slip Monday after he engaged in a war of words with Musk on the platform.
The dispute began after Musk tweeted an apology on Sunday “for Twitter being super slow in many countries” and attributed the problem to poor app function.
Fronhoefer refuted Musk’s assertion.
“I have spent ~6yrs working on Twitter for Android and can say this is wrong,” Frohnhoefer replied to Musk in a tweet that has received more than 133,000 likes since it was posted.
“Then please correct me. What is the right number?” Musk responded. “Twitter is super slow on Android. What have you done to fix that?”
Frohnhoefer fired back with a lengthy thread explaining his view on Twitter’s slow performance.
