Well, I can understand the outrage about it. But they also all made a major mistake: no company will like it if you are discussing internal topics with your boss in public. This always will put you on the black list. If you want to discuss internal matters, then do so internally.
Yeah well, unless the CEO of the company is publically talking trash, and then actually publically demands you explain why he was wrong.

Reluctantly
6. I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them.
11. I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need to prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving my weaker enemies alive to show they pose no threat.
12. One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.
17. When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to their advice.
57. Before employing any captured artifacts or machinery, I will carefully read the owner's manual.
58. If it becomes necessary to escape, I will never stop to pose dramatically and toss off a one-liner.
61. If my advisors ask "Why are you risking everything on such a mad scheme?", I will not proceed until I have a response that satisfies them.
64. I will see a competent psychiatrist and get cured of all extremely unusual phobias and bizarre compulsive habits which could prove to be a disadvantage.
And the last one says nothing about $8.

This is just super bizarre and the most bizarre thing about it is that Kraus isn't the only one - there's a whole actual spate going on of Twitter flagging and locking accounts after posting rocket launch imagery or space photography for the highly specific reason of "privately produced/distributed intimate media of someone without their express consent":

What do they have to lose? The company will be in Chapter 11 after Q1 2023. Better to take the severance now and have some cushion while deciding which offer to accept. Of course there's also the possibility that Musk will storm off in a rage and never return. The service may then be salvageable if users feel like the company are focused on restoring user functionality as quickly as possible.

The way it is going, it will break and go offline one of these days, and stay that way because no one left knows how to fix it.
