Im confused by your position here, employees should agree with all decisions or leave? That’s not generally the relationship I’ve had with management or peers in my career.
I'd remind you that Elon called out one of Twitter's engineers on Twitter for the Android app being slow. Professional conduct is clearly not a priority to him.
Following up on my own post, I failed to read the third link where he did ask an employee who tried to shine light on the Android slowness. After what looks like a reasonable series of responses, Musk fired him https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/14/23458247/elon-musk-fires...
EDIT: Ah, didn't see your reply until after I posted this.
He tweeted at Fraunhoefer:
Twitter is super slow on Android. What have you done to fix that?
Which sounds a lot like an attack to me, coming from someone in Elon's position. If you need further explanation, he addressed it at him with the word 'you'.
Also, firing the guy after this exchange is kind of a personal attack.
One item that's unclear to me is if the employee had put that they were open to other opportunities on their profile at the time of firing. To me that changes the calculus of why he may have been fired.
Tell me more about the internal strife these engineers created, I didn’t see that mentioned in the tweet thread. Maybe it will help me understand your position better.

Employees do not have to agree. They can instead leave. The door is right there.
The way these employees were dismissed is pretty humane. They will get severance pay, and end up in a better place than if they just up and left.

The issue has nothing to do with disagreeing at a personal level, and everything to do with proper professional conduct. Basic levels thereof.
I can disagree with decisions, without creating internal strife within the company I work for. I would hope you can, too.
Musk publicly shaming his engineers for code they wrote is beyond inappropriate conduct. Any internal strife is entirely on him.
Professionals should not be expected to extend any respect to those who treat them like dirt.

It would be helpful to link the relevant twit, both for verification purposes and to be able to judge his words with our own brains.
There's way too much hearsay being flung about in social media about Twitter's new ownership.
Ok.
Here's the original tweet: https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1591853644944932865

Elon thinks he's an engineer, but he is just rich brat trying to look like an engineer, and throwing the real engineers under the bus in the process.
While I question the leadership merits of slagging off your own product, he did not personally attack any team member as claimed by parent post.

Keep your head down, I guess.

I was referring to this tweet: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1591937998551130117
Elon shits on the product in public, team member defends their work, Elon calls the team member out on it, who by the way then replies perfectly reasonably: https://twitter.com/EricFrohnhoefer/status/15919683432293662...
and then gets fired.
I see that now, you might see my other comment.

You forgot to add that Elon then implemented the fired employees suggestions
