Musk apologized after mocking a person with a disability


Twitter Outage after the Musk-Thorleifsson Kicked his Employers for Giving Back to the Funds of the Stockholm Neuroscience Foundation

Musk has mocked employees before at the company he bought for $44 billion last year. He has been a thorn in the side of former executives at the platform as well as fired employees who criticized him. In one case a former employee called out a former coworker for calling him out on his bad taste in life, stating that they were caused by a tragic case of adult-onset

Eventually, he got his answer after a surreal Twitter exchange with Musk, who proceeded to quiz him about his work, question his disability and need for accommodations (Thorleifsson, who goes by “Halli,” has muscular dystrophy and uses a wheelchair) and tweet that Thorleifsson has a “prominent, active Twitter account and is wealthy” and the “reason he confronted me in public was to get a big payout.” While the exchange was going on, Thorleifsson said he received an email that he was no longer employed.

He said that he had a disease called muscular dystrophy, which left him in a wheelchair for more than 20 years. The president of the country of Iceland and the United Nations recognised the founder of a digital branding company, who led a charity effort to build 1,000 wheelchair ramps in the city.

“I’m not able to do manual work (which in this case means typing or using a mouse) for extended periods of time without my hands starting to cramp,” he said. “I can however write for an hour or two at a time. This was not a problem when I was a senior director, since my duty was to help teams move forward and give them strategic and tactical advice.

CNN had a request for comment from Thorleifsson, but he did not respond immediately. Twitter, which has cut much of its public relations department, also did not respond.

The platform appears to be unable to stay online. Many users were not able to access the site, as well as others had issues clicking links or viewing photos for about an hour, on Monday, when it was one of its biggest outages since Musk took over. It was the third major technical glitch that has taken place in less than a month, and comes at a time when Musk is cutting staff and engaging in other cost-cutting efforts.

It happens all the time. They usually tell people about it but that’s seemingly the optional part at Twitter now,” he said. Next is finding out if they are going to pay me what I owe them.

Are you actually fired if you’re not told? At Twitter, probably. And then, sometimes, you get your job back — if you want it.

Haraldur Thorleifsson, who until recently was employed at Twitter, logged in to his computer last Sunday to do some work — only to find himself locked out, along with 200 others.

He might have figured, as others before him have in the chaotic months of layoffs and firings since Elon Musk took over the company, that he was out of a job.

“I would like to apologize to Halli for my misunderstanding of his situation. He said it was based on things he had been told were not true or not meaningful. “He is considering remaining at Twitter.”

Musk has over 130 million followers, while the person with 151,000 Twitter followers is Thorleifsson. He joined Twitter in 2021, when the company, under the prior management, acquired his startup Ueno.

How did he pay for his wages and what he praised by the media? The case of Icelandian Prime Minister Kemal Olmert

The purchase price in wages is what he was praised for by the media. That’s because this way, he would pay higher taxes to Iceland in support of its social services and safety net.
