Common. If your CEO is making extremely inflammatory political statements publicly, and you don’t agree with those statements you are kind of in a dilemma. You either remain silent and and be perceived as broadly agreeing with—or at least tolerating—the CEO’s statements, or you speak out against them. In either case you are making a political decision.
Elon Musk put his workers in this dilemma and he should have expected a subset of them to speak out critically against him. I honestly don’t know other large organizations in our industry that is in the same situation, so there is really nothing to compare it with.
