Musk fires Twitter's app developer via tweet

Eric had questioned Musk's assessment

In another strange incident, Elon Musk on Monday fired one of its employees via tweet who had pointed out his assessment as 'wrong'. Eric Frohnhoefer, an android app developer at Twitter got fired on Monday for his statements questioning the Twitter CEO. 

Late Sunday night, Musk tweeted "Btw, 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!" 

Eric replied in his tweet that "I have spent ~6yrs working on Twitter for Android and can say this is wrong."

As a reply to the tweet, Musk had asked Eric to correct him. "Then please correct me. What is the right number?"

"Twitter is super slow on Android. What have you done to fix that?", Musk asked in a tweet. 

Several other app developers came in support of Eric and after came the bizarre announcement by Musk that he is fired. 

After the Twitter takeover, Musk had fired several employees of the company including Chief Financial Officer Ned Legal, and CEO Parag Agrawal.
