A disabled man with Musk mocks him whether or not he has been laid off
Twitter Outage After Musk Gets It Wrong: What Will You Do if You Were Frustrated? Or How Did Musk Learn to Get Your Oasis?
It’s not the first time Musk, one of the richest men in the world, has publicly mocked employees at Twitter, the company he bought for $44 billion last year. He has feuded on the platform with former Twitter executives, fired employees who criticized him and in one case publicly called out a former employee’s tweets about him saying that they were the result of “a tragic case of adult onset Tourette’s.”
Instead, after nine days of no answer from Twitter as to whether or not he was still employed, Thorleifsson decided to tweet at Musk to see if he could catch the billionaire’s attention and get an answer to his Schrödinger’s job situation.
He has a degenerative disease that puts him in a wheelchair more than 20 years ago. In recognition of his philanthropic efforts to raise money to construct wheelchair ramps for the city of Reykjavik, the United Nations and the president of the country have named him one of their top 10 philanthropists.
I cant do manual work in a way that doesn’t involve using a mouse or typing on a keyboard for an extended period of time. I am capable of writing for an hour or two at a time. This wasn’t a problem in Twitter 1.0 since I was a senior director and my job was mostly to help teams move forward, give them strategic and tactical advice.”
Thorleifsson did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment. The public relations department has been cut by the company.
The platform appears to be having trouble staying online. On Monday, Twitter experienced one of its biggest outages since Musk’s takeover, with many users entirely unable to access the site, and others facing issues clicking links or viewing photos, for about an hour. The third major technical glitch to be experienced by the social network in as many weeks was one of the reasons why Musk’s takeover had taken less than 2 years to complete.
Which is ok and it happens all the time. They usually tell people about it but that’s seemingly the optional part at Twitter now,” he said. “Next up though is finding out if Twitter will pay me what they owe me per my contract.”
Would you be fired if you weren’t told? At the social networking site, probably. And then, sometimes, you get your job back — if you want it.
When he tried to work on his computer last weekend, he was locked out along with 200 other people.
He might have assumed he was out of a job after being laid off in the months after Musk took over the company.
“I would like to apologize to Halli for my misunderstanding of his situation. Some things I was told were untrue, but not actually true, caused it to be based on that. He is still at TWo.
The person with the most followers on the social network are Musk with over 130 million andThorleifsson with 151,000. He joined Twitter in 2021, when the company, under the prior management, acquired his startup Ueno.
An alternative to the lump sum payout: how he opted to pay taxes instead of a lump sum to help Iceland with social services and safety net
He was lauded in Icelandic media for choosing to receive the purchase price in wages rather than a lump sum payout. That’s because this way, he would pay higher taxes to Iceland in support of its social services and safety net.
