I see that OP has taken and fortified the moral high-ground before ever opening his mouth. Certainly, a helluva time to pick a fight, and with one of the richest people in the world when everyoneās sick of him?

My favourite part:
But like you I made a bet on Twitter having a lot more potential than it has had.
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.

So many good bits. Itāll be interesting to see Elnoās response - if he even dares, I suspect itāll just be Musk deflecting by saying something irrelevant and being even more of an asshole.

Has he ever done anything beside that?

I wish I could be this sassy in my second/third/ā¦ language. I suspect Halli will have plenty of companies lining up to employ him.
And what a top guy for sharing his luck with the people of Iceland - the idea of society seems entirely alien to Space Karen.

Sounds like it wasnāt really about keeping a regular job for him (by his own account he doesnāt expect to be physically capable of doing any kind of full-time work much longer) so much as getting the compensation (and respect) he is owed from the people who bought his company and agreed to certain conditions as part of the bargain.

Heās said explicitly that selling up to Twitter was his retirement plan.
The Iceland-based entrepreneur had sold his company, Ueno, a creative design agency, to Twitter in early 2021 - after founding the firm in Reykjavik in 2014.
As part of the acquisition he became a full-time employee at Twitter.
āI decided to sell for a few reasons but one of them is that I have muscular dystrophy and my body is slowly but surely failing me,ā he told the BBC.
āI have a few good work years left in me so this was a way to wrap up my company, and set up myself and my family for years when I wonāt be able to do as much.ā

Does Musk think of his performances as real work?

For a tech grifter like Elon Musk or Elizabeth Holmes, playing the role of the visionary genius is the job.

Iād bet there is an employment law in California that stipulates informal communications (like Twitter) are insufficient to provide notice of layoff or termination. So until they formally notify him, Twitter might be on the hook for back pay mandated by the state.

And now Iāve gotten to the initial interaction, where Halli asks if heās been fired, Musk then publicly grills him about what work heās been doing, and then when someone questions what Musk is doing, then Musk dismisses Halli as someone who got fired because he was claiming to be disabled. It really does just keep getting worse the further in I get. Musk obviously knew who Halli was, but decided to publicly humiliate him to try to justify why he let him go (although also presumably it was ultimately to justify not paying him any previously agreed-upon severance fees). What. an. absolute. piece. of. shit.

Yup. A competent person wouldāve replied with. āThatās odd. Let me loop in HR and theyāll sort this out.ā But Musk canāt resist an opportunity to be a shit to someone.
