There is the provision in the law for what is called an "unconscionable contract". That means the company policy is illegal. Elon does not make his own laws. I'd be real careful how you terminate an employee.


"If a contract is unfair or oppressive to one party in a way that suggests abuses during its formation, a court may find it unconscionable and refuse to enforce it. A contract is most likely to be found unconscionable if both unfair bargaining and unfair substantive terms are shown."
