I guess something I don't know about employment law, everyone says in a ~right to work~ (Correction: At-will employment state), you can fire someone for any reason, but can you lie about the reason? Do you have to be able to prove that reason was true? Certainly I suppose you might want to be able to in case of a wrongful termination suit.

”At-will employment” (every state except Montana) not ”right-to-work” (which California emphatically is not.) The latter is a restriction on unions.
but can you lie about the reason?
Lying publicly about the reason might be defamation, but this wasn’t public, and lying doesn’t itself establish that the reason was illegal, which is necessary for wrongful termination in an at-will state.
True.. however the comment about "A tragic case of adult onset Tourette’s" will definitely throw a wrench in the gears for any disability discrimination claim.
Exactly. It is one thing to say "because Musk wants you out", another to refer to some policy in ambiguous wording. Lying about such serious matter as why you fire someone is is my book very bad. This is the first time I consider leaving Twitter. Not sure I want to have anything to do with it any longer.
