While many viewed the activity as an example of free speech, that didn’t seem to be the case with Musk’s SpaceX. Within a day of the letter being circulated, the company reportedly fired employees involved with the letter. The act by Musk’s company has been receiving massive criticism ever since then.

Learning about the act, Martina, a promoter of free speech, took to her Twitter handle, criticizing Musk. She wrote, “Not so much for free speech, are you Elon Musk?!?”

The letter came as a shock for many as Musk has been a promoter of free speech himself. However, with this act, questions are being raised over the selective nature of free speech and the severely constrained nature of speech in workspaces.

The illustrious career of Navratilova

Going back in time, one can recall the time of Martina Navratilova, who turned pro in 1874. The legendary player had a smooth climb on the ladder of success. The Czech-American player has 18 Grand Slam singles titles, 31 Grand Slam doubles titles, and 10 Grand Slam mixed doubles titles.

With her massive records in place, in 2000, they inducted her into the Tennis Hall of Fame. Retiring in 2006, the 65-year-old is now a regular guest on TV shows as a tennis expert.
