Who Is Sinead McSweeney, The Twitter Employee Elon Musk Cannot Fire?

Elon Musk finally bought Twitter last month after a long and messy battle with the company. What followed afterward was mass firings, including that of the CEO and CFO. In protest, a mass resignation followed which forced the company to temporarily close its offices.

However, there is one person the world’s richest man cannot fire. Her name is Sinead McSweeney. But what makes her immune to firing when the Tesla CEO is sparing no one? Let’s try and find out the answer to this question.

Elon Musk Cannot Fire This Twitter Employee

Right after the acquisition, the South African billionaire fired nearly half of Twitter’s workforce. This includes the CEO, CFO, and several other top executives.

However, there is one person on his payroll that he cannot fire. According to The Irish Times, Sinead McSweeney, Twitter’s global vice president for public policy, is that person.

She has secured a temporary high court injunction that prevents the social media giant from firing her. In the court, Sinead stated that working for Twitter has become difficult after Musk took over, as she’s been working for more than 75 hours a week. Earlier, she had to work for 40 hours which was required contractually.

After Sinead did not respond to “a generic and vague email” sent by Musk to all Twitter employees earlier this month, she said the company started treating her differently. She was locked out of the Dublin office and its internal IT systems, including her company email account.

Musk Says He is Being Attacked By Democrat Politicians

Musk has been tweeting relentlessly these days, especially after he took over the company. Yesterday, the SpaceX founder said that several Democrat politicians have started targeting him all of a sudden.

“Several other major Democrat politicians attacked me too, all around the same time”, he tweeted. Calling it a “coordinated” attack, Musk wrote: “Outside of party leadership and independents like Manchin, they are essentially actors on the political stage, not directors or script writers”.

The tweet was in response to a user saying that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren started attacking Musk for no reason. The user said that they are attacking someone who is “most capable of helping government solve problems”.

Earlier, Musk took a jibe at Democrat politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who questioned the $8 monthly subscription charge for a verified account on Twitter.
