Alaska-based Army veteran Mike Macans has found his life turned upside down in recent weeks thanks to the efforts of X owner Elon Musk.
In an interview with Alaska Public Radio, Macans said that he was shocked earlier this month when he received a message informing him that he was being fired from his job as a disaster recovery coordinator at the Small Business Administration.
Shortly after this, he received another notice telling him that the prior termination notice was sent in error — before then receiving another notice telling him that he had, in fact, been fired.
That was fired by a third letter of termination.
As if that weren't bad enough, Macans still hasn't received documents from the government that he'll need to claim unemployment benefits and still has no idea when his health insurance will expire.

This is particularly crucial, says Macans, because wife Lara Macans is a cancer survivor who requires high-priced medications to control her autoimmune disorder.
"I've never felt more betrayed in my entire life," said Macans.
"Just the disregard for the impact that this has, on not only the employee but his whole family, is astounding," commented Lara Macans.
Macans is also angry because his notice of termination said that he was being let go for performance reasons despite the fact that his last performance review called him "an exceptional asset to the Agency," and someone who is "always up for a new challenge, completes work to a high standard, and proactively generates opportunities to build and maintain relationships that facilitate the delivery of SBA's disaster loan program."
