All the employees left are just doing what he says without any questions. It's becoming malicious compliance and I love it.

He fired everyone who tried to question him on the spot, sometimes even by public tweets.

Except that one guy who had a long-term contract with Twitter. He was threatened to be fired by Musk. Then he showed off a huge $hundred-million portion of his contract if he were ever laid off or fired, and suddenly Elon Musk treated him with a lot of kindness and respect online.

Did that guy actually take back his job? Since he already got the firing in writing, I'd totally have run with it.
