Ah, I finally stumbled across the famous story of Elon’s secretary, whom he fired.
Eeeek.
It’s not a great look – but efficient I suppose.
I mean…who among us can cast the first stone?

For that matter, I hope all of us do.

Brown went to Musk and asked that she be compensated on par with SpaceX’s top executives, since she was handling so much of Musk’s scheduling across two companies, doing public relations work and often making business decisions. Musk replied that Brown should take a couple of weeks off, and he would take on her duties and gauge how hard they were. When Brown returned, Musk let her know that he didn’t need her anymore, and he asked Shotwell’s assistant to begin scheduling his meetings.
