They're not just firing her. They are eliminating the entire role of Chief Scientist. Along with the office that houses the Chief Economist and the Chief Technologist. So three roles intended for high level advice to the Administrator.

The continued threat by Musk that he has the ability to disable Starlink will end up costing SpaceX millions in cancelled and lost future contracts.
SpaceX, much like Tesla, needs to consider the cost/benefit of continuing to be associated with Musk.

Also good to have confirmation that decisions which would have massive international security impacts are down to just one man's feelings on the day.

From the man who backed out of a fight with Mark Zuckerberg and an appearance on the Daily Show: "I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat". This is "my dad works for Nintendo" level stuff.
