Jag håller inte med om detta som FTH skrev: "Samma sak hade hänt hos vilken annan arbetsgivare som helst." eftersom jag inte tror att det är sant.

Ett förtydligande, jag menade egentligen inte att det
skulle ha hänt hos
alla andra arbetsgivare, utan att det
kunde ha hänt hos vilken annan arbetsgivare som helst.
Att risken för summariskt avskedande är väldigt hög även med amerikanska mått mätt i många/alla av Elon Musks företag råder det nog inga tvivel om, något man som anställd i dessa företag dock bör vara fullt medveten om.

Bra! jag håller med.
Sedan kan jag tycka att det är helt hysteriskt i detta fall. Bedöm själva.
Jag citerar:
After reviewing everything and thinking a lot, I've decided that I'm not going to delete the post -- which is very clearly a harmless personal opinion.
Why did they tell me to remove this opinion? Well, according to them, the reason is that I acknowledged that Grok 3... exists.
I wish I was joking. I'm not. That's the reason -- the fact that I wrote "Grok 3 (TBD)" is grounds for being fired.
But wait, hasn't Grok 3 been officially acknowledged by xAI? Yes. Yes it has.
I'll post below the official xAI blog post talking about Grok 3, along with many public Elon posts and video where it is repeatedly acknowledged.
To be clear, the post they wanted me to remove is 100% just my personal opinion. I do not know where Grok 3 will stack up against other SOTA models. Hopefully it does well, I don't know. That's why it says "opinion" and "to be determined."
It will probably be pretty good at some things and imperfect at others. I didn't think this was a particularly wild opinion.
Again, their official demand said that even writing "Grok 3 - TBD" is somehow "confidential information." This is absolutely absurd, since it's repeatedly been acknowledged by the company and its famous CEO.
Are they mad that my clearly-labeled opinion didn't guess that the still-unreleased Grok 3 will be higher? Maybe. Probably. Again, maybe it is at the top, I genuinely don't know. That's why it says "to be determined."
The specific feature of Grok I spent the majority of my time working on with a really hard-working team is very cool and I hope it works extremely well for everyone. I won't say what it is because that would be **actual** confidential information. (Maybe after it comes out.)
It's very disappointing to me that a company and leaders who supposedly champion free speech and openness would try to fire a low-level employee over a clearly-labeled opinion that contains absolutely nothing controversial, but here we are.
The entire situation has been very strange. I thought about just deleting the damn thing.... But you know, once you start caving and giving up holding mild personal opinions, the slope becomes very slippery.
I'll keep my speech and dignity and get another job, or build one. Catch ya on the flip side.
