    That’s exactly what I mean. Employees in At Will states can legally be fired for anything short of violations of protected classes, so I’m not sure how he’s expecting to win here.

      No, they can be fired for those reasons, it’s on the fired employee to prove it was because of those protected reasons and be able to fight it after the fact in court.

      When an employer can choose to go into as little detail as “you’re fired because I said so” it takes a very stupid employer to lose that fight.

      Musk’s philosophy is apparently: if it’s not okay to fire someone for being trans, a woman or for their race, why is it okay to fire someone for being anti-trans, misogynistic or racist?

      That goes for every other state also soooo…?
