Shortly after Musk fired three workers for criticizing him on Twitter, he terminated around two dozen further employees in a late-night email on Monday. Musk's team was asked to comb through messages in Twitter's internal chat platform and make a list of employees who were insubordinate. They also sorted through employees' tweets, looking for criticism. Those deemed rule breakers received emails around 1:30 a.m. Pacific time on Tuesday, notifying them that they were fired. What do you think about Musk firing those who criticize him?
I'd do the same! It's his company so anyone who is criticizing him should be fired

They should be allowed to criticize their boss, no one is perfect and they shouldn't get in trouble for it

Snitch-tagging is the act of tagging the subject of a negative post about them, especially on Twitter, that they weren't already tagged in. It ensures the subject is aware of the criticism. Musk fans have "snitch tagged" Elon Musk in negative tweets about him, so he will see them and presumably fire those employees. Have you ever "snitch tagged" someone, not just on Twitter but on any platform? This means messaging the member/user who the comment is about and letting them know about it. Yes

Do you think snitch tagging helps or hurts a situation? Helps, people can see what is written about them and choose to reply

Some celebs have spoken out about being tagged/told about negative comments , saying they don't want to see those comments due to the self esteem issues, anxiety and hurt it causes. If someone 'snitch tagged you', so that you saw a negative comment about yourself, what would you think? I'd be glad, so I can reply
