On getting fired

I probably shouldn’t say too much about this, but I am genuinely baffled why an extremely well-compensated tech employee would torpedo their career just to tell us that they think girls are bad at math, or that they think a language model is sentient. Even if true, what are the material consequence for these claims? What is the right framework for thinking about this? Is clout worth more than a job (“in this economy”)?
