"Mess around and find out."
That's exactly what some whiny, insubordinate employees of Elon Musk's SpaceX did when they wrote an open letter personally attacking their own boss.
From the letter:
Elon's behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us, particularly in recent weeks.
As our CEO and most prominent spokesperson, Elon is seen as the face of SpaceX — every Tweet that Elon sends is a de facto public statement by the company. It is critical to make clear to our teams and to our potential talent pool that his messaging does not reflect our work, our mission, or our values.
That was yesterday.
This was today:

Everyone is so shocked!
Whiny, petulant employees took to the internet to publicly criticize and complain about their boss and they ended up getting fired.
It's almost like things are going back to normal.
From Mashable:
SpaceX employees have denounced Elon Musk's behavior in an open letter sent within an internal company chat system. A day after the release of the document, SpaceX reportedly fired several employees who helped in its distribution.
The letter, first reported and seen by The Verge, criticized the CEO's Twitter presence and the recent allegations of sexual harassment made against him, which Musk has denied.
According to a report by The New York Times, SpaceX's president and chief operating officer, Gwynne Shotwell, confirmed in an email that SpaceX "terminated a number of employees involved."
"The letter, solicitations and general process made employees feel uncomfortable, intimidated and bullied, and/or angry because the letter pressured them to sign onto something that did not reflect their views," Shotwell reportedly wrote to employees. "We have too much critical work to accomplish and no need for this kind of overreaching activism."
Who could have seen a group of woke employees mutinying against their boss going poorly?
If they worked for Disney, the company would cave. Or any other woke corporation for that matter.
But Elon is going to act like an actual boss and fire the mutineers.
