Not trying to defend him, but I thought the reasoning behind doing that was to get the least obedient people to leave the company so that there won't be a delayed push back from the employees.

In my experience working for almost 3 decades in software development, passive-agressive shit from upper management just causes the best people to leave (as they're the ones who easilly find better jobs) leaving behind mainly a mix of the incompetent and those who never worked anywhere else (who are either already incompetent or will become so, as only ever having worked in just one company is far too narrow professional experience for anything beyond junior/mid level - you need to have seen more than one way of doing things to understand certain higher level concerns and choices in software development).

Yeah and I'd say these people left are exactly those Elon wants, he doesn't want white guys in their 50s, he wants obedient young guys.

Sound like a variant of the good old saying "pay peanuts, get monkeys" only using a stick and threats instead of payment.

Mind you, it does sound like the kind of think somebody with his kind of personality - narcissistic shameless and dishonest salesman - would think it's a great idea.
