CHAOS ATX HEADQUARTERS: ELON MUSK FIRES 2,000 EMPLOYEES AFTER VIRAL JOKE MOCKING CHARLIE KIRK’S DEATH In a move that has sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley and the entire tech world, Elon Musk has reportedly fired 2,000 employees from X (formerly Twitter) overnight after a viral internal post mocked the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Sources inside the company describe a tense, almost surreal atmosphere that unfolded in the hours after the post went viral. The joke – reportedly made by a mid-level content moderator – was shared in a private Slack channel but quickly leaked onto the platform itself, where screenshots began circulating just hours after Kirk’s funeral. The post, described as “cruel” and “deeply disrespectful,” mocked Kirk’s death during a public event at Utah Valley University.
Musk, who had previously remained publicly silent about Kirk’s assassination, allegedly found the joke “beyond forgiveness.”
“You don’t mock the dead. You don’t mock someone who was fighting for what they believed in – whether you agreed with them
or not,” Musk reportedly told executives during an emergency call late last night.
At 3:00 AM, employees at X began receiving termination emails. By sunrise, entire teams had been wiped out – including content moderation groups, middle management, and communications staff. Over 2,000 people were affected in what some employees are calling “The Midnight Massacre.”
