Obv can't vouch for the specific details of his job, but he did work there:

Also suffers from muscular dystrophy.

Mr Thorleifsson is worried that Mr Musk will not honour the contract he signed with Twitter when he sold them his company.

"This is extremely stressful. This is my retirement fund, a way to take care of myself and my family as my disease progresses. Having the richest man in the world on the other end of this, potentially refusing to stand by contracts is not easy for me to accept," he said.

He seems like a real dude, and also a real dude

Jesus Christ what a fucking asshole

The reality is that this guy (who is independently wealthy) did no actual work, claimed as his excuse that he had a disability that prevented him from typing, yet was simultaneously tweeting up a storm.

Can’t say I have a lot of respect for that.

Yesterday I read somewhere that Twitter hasn’t paid their AWS bill in months and Amazon is negotiating with Twitter for points on Twitter ad sales.

I’d make a joke about selling the office furniture but he did that.

What ads? I haven’t seen an ad in weeks.

The replies from Elon simps cheering on that guy's firing is incredibly depressing.

yeah

Jesus Christ what a fucking asshole

Don’t know how it works internationally but on top of all the other despicable shit that seems like a HIPAA/medical privacy violation to tweet about his requested disability accommodation

he def broke some laws but he doesnt care hes rich

It is but I assume someone with money and a mind like Musk is paying a giant street team (while still getting many always-online supporters gratis).

But even if he wasn't we should say that he is.

genuinely curious how many people remaining at Twitter are actively looking for other jobs right now

there was a recent article that said it was most of them

i get it, it's like looking at a car crash but I don't know why anyone would read Elon's reply guys.

maybe 1 or 2 but then you just move on w/ your day

Unless you had mastered the ability to send aneurysms through the screen maybe

What ads? I haven’t seen an ad in weeks.

I haven’t seen a tweet with more than two replies that doesn’t also have ads in the replies for weeks.

Musk's description of that guy is a completely accurate description of Musk himself

What ads? I haven’t seen an ad in weeks.

I'm getting a lot of Epoch Times ads atm

lol

i got an ad for the san diego zoo and it was the only ad I have not immediately blocked in months.

i have a long term experiment going where i block all ads except for junk food and booze to see if they will just serve me those, conclusion: no

The replies from Elon simps cheering on that guy's firing is incredibly depressing.

like racist reply guys on a Sadiq Khan thread I use these chuds to up my list of blockees, at least until I master that aneurysm-via-tweet thing gyac mentioned above

I definitely wish that Twitter sent them a message when you block em, like "Stevie blocked you because you're a worthless danger"

This guy's good. Halli, I mean. The whole thread is great.

hitting the most divorced man alive with a “i sleep in a big bed with my wife” is killing me lmao https://t.co/i663ApGHVD

I saw also that this Halli guy is allegedly really generous with his money in Iceland and seems to be a really well liked guy. But even if he was a miserable grump, it's still fucking appalling to see Musk do that in public and ultra depressing to see the chuds cheering him on.

I just want this fuck to go away forever.

I joined at a time when the company was growing fast. You kind of did the opposite.

There was a lot going on. The company had a fair amount of issues, but then again, most bigger companies do.

Or even small companies, like Twitter today.

get him

Kind of want to poll the individual zings in that thread

“You only read on the toilet” is underrated

Are you under the impression this is going to look good for him https://t.co/XmjqQt01nA pic.twitter.com/MeYBKKq9EG

Look at the hits in this thread.

We worked for more or less every big tech company.

We grew fast and made money. I think that's what you are referring to when you say independently wealthy?

That I independently made my money, as opposed to say, inherited an emerald mine.

elon really is getting to trump levels of churning out awful shit

Nazi fuck

wow. the guy, Halli, that Elon Musk has been mocking is not only a class act, but was literally on a list of "do not fire" VIPs because of how expensive his exit package was (likely because, if what Halli's other tweets say are true, Twitter acquired his company for a good price) https://t.co/H1skqNyiHI

— Dan Seljak (@anotherglassbox) March 7, 2023

did Elon have any clue who this guy was before he started mocking him?? can't imagine how many lawyers are chomping at the bit to take his case

lmao, it does seem like he knew who he was and just didnt care, tbf hes lit so much money on fire already adding that guys compensation to it prob doesnt matter much

i mean, why would he start expecting any negative consequences at this point? he's free to do whatever the fuck he wants.

yeah he's just going to stonewall this guy in litigation, I feel bad for him

there is a non-zero chance that musk can use expensive lawyers to flatten this guy and pay him absolutely nothing

it does seem like he knew who he was and just didnt care

idk it seems every time something breaks on Twitter there are employees (or ex-employees) stunned at how little Elon seems to know about how Twitter actually runs, I would not be surprised if Elon saw the word "Figma", thought he was being trolled, and now has to double down on it because he's that dumb? sorta like how he got forced into buying Twitter in the first place?

idk he def a least found out who the guy was at some point because he was sharing info about him

yeah I think he found out after he started talking shit about him, that's kind of how Elon operates

elon you huge baby bitch pic.twitter.com/SNjbodeeeb

people are speculating that elon thought figma was some sort of joke the guy was just trolling, its design collaboration software

who knows tho, regardless elon should be thrown into a pit

i don't believe that excuse.

i dont think its an excuse
