A Twitter engineer fired after clashing with Elon Musk said he found out only when a friend sent him Musk's tweet
The engineer, Eric Frohnhoefer, said"no one even reached out to me from Twitter," about the termination.
He clashed with Musk on Monday before the Twitter owner said in a now-deleted tweet that Frohnhoefer was fired. A few hours later, Frohnhoefer tweeted,"Guess it is official now." with a photo of his Mac being locked.What sparked the spat: Musk tweeted an apology"for Twitter being super slow in many countries," to which Frohnhoefer, who said he had spent around six years working on Twitter for Android, replied that Musk was"wrong.
Musk replied to Frohnhoefer, asking him to"please correct me. What is the right number?" and following with another reply that said,"Twitter is super slow on Android. What have you done to fix that?"saying"we have done a bunch of work to improve performance," and that there's"plenty of room for improvements."
Frohnhoefer said in a CNN interview Monday night after his firing that he had been"willing to give" working under Musk's leadership"a try" and was in the"wait-and-see camp."Meanwhile, he told the news show that"everything that has been reported is true," and that working at Twitter under Musk is a"total sh-t show."
Neither Frohnhoefer nor Twitter immediately responded to Insider's request for comment on the situation.
