Shouted at for not working on weekend

Today, during the morning standup call CEO shouted at one of the employee for not responding to the messages in slack. He was travelling to some place. CEO argued that no matter what day, we're obliged to respond to messages & be available. Otherwise, we're equal to freelancers. Whats your take on this ?

If only someone could politely tell the CEO that they don't have equity in the company like him. So constant availability is not gonna happen.
