CEO threatens to kill Donald Trump on Facebook, gets fired for it
While tech giants from the likes of Apple, Microsoft and Facebook chose to play it safe when Donald Trump won the election, the CEO of San Diego-based cybersecurity firm PacketSled opted for a different approach – and publicly threatened to kill the newly elected Republican candidate on Facebook.
Unfortunately, his brash and aggressive burst of frustration swiftly backfired when the series of threats aimed at the President-elect shortly made it to Reddit and eventually appeared on a number of media outlets, causing PacketSled to place the aggravated CEO on an administrative leave.
“I’m going to kill the the president-elect,” Matt Harrigan wrote on his personal Facebook page. “[G]etting a sniper rifle and perching myself where it counts. Find a bedroom in the whitehouse that suits you motherfucker. I’ll find you,” the CEO further added.
