Elon Musk's foe Phyllis Fong, who was investigating his brain implant startup Neuralink, forcefully removed from office after refusing to comply with the conditions of her termination
Phyllis Fong had informed her colleagues in an email that she planned to remain in her position, asserting that the termination notice did not follow legal requirements and therefore was not valid.
