    The Musk post is specifically related to Scott Mineo and the Loudoun Love Warriors. Scott was a successful customer service rep and team lead for Secure Works. He started a side gig providing analytics and analysis of local government policies. He started coming after Biberaj and the Loudoun County Board in 2021. Over 2 dozen calls and complaints to his employer finally got them to release him, not due to his actions, but to end the harassment from the group.

      I'll take your word for it, but how did Musk get involved?

        There was an article posted a couple of days ago about Mineo, and Musk replied to it. I gather the response was so high that he decided to make a blanket statement.

              Funny and all but his employer, the American People, fired him for all sorts of reasons.

                  It would explain why we can’t have nice things.

                          I'm not sure what grounds anybody has to sue a private employer who fires them due to their political/cultural opinions, but if those grounds exist in the abstract, tasteless humor would be defensible. But it's never been my impression that private employers need grounds to dismiss you. There are only certain reasons they can't dismiss you. Opinions aren't among those disallowed reasons, as far as I know.

                            How about violating rules of conduct that are written down and agreed to?

                              My point was that a private employer doesn't need grounds to dismiss you. Then I wondered whether liking a post on Twitter constituted some sort of protected action for which another general law prohibits dismissal. If that other general law exists, it might not be possible to sign it away in an employment contract.

                                In the case of the NASCAR driver he took a sudden lurch to the right which is never a good idea in that sport.

                                    Maybe one of those threads will explain the grounds an employee has to sue, if they are dismissed because of Twitter activity.
