No, you don’t have to “take it”. You could always just resign…and then comment on Twitter and frankly everywhere else about how wrong and how much of an asshole that Elon was yada yada yada…but I wam not exactly sure in which parallel universe people live in to think that publicly calling out your boss (who is known to be a little quick on the trigger already) should have zero consequences to you.
Pretty much seems to be a universally bad idea no matter who your boss is, but if your boss is Elon Musk…there is literally no other outcome to that action. He damn sure isn’t going to thank you for setting him straight and promote you.
This dude had to know and expect these consequences and this was an intentional publicity grab/hero syndrome deal. If not, he is just a moron (which kind of underscores Elon’s POV to be honest).
