Musk involved in bizarre Twitter exchange with worker who wasn’t sure if he had been fired

Musk approves former worker to ‘break confidentiality’ in Twitter thread to discuss his work

Another twist in this saga.
@w7voa What ought to happen next: “Look at me. I’m the founder of Tesla now.”
@w7voa "However, the firing will continue until morale improves."
@w7voa
Halli would be a hero to a lot of us if he took Musk to the cleaners and destroyed him. But at the end of the day Elmo's just a spoiled wealthy man-child with zero social skills who is protected by lawyers who want to milk him for their livings for as long as they can.
@w7voa @seldo it’s going to be too expensive to fire him right now?
@w7voa big "my lawyers advised me to say after I shot my dumb mouth off once again" energy from the Ableist nepo-baby there.
@w7voa Even the "apology" blames other people! The Emperor is always right.
@w7voa just a simple misunderstanding, right? What super genius CEO *doesn’t* publicly humiliate their disabled former employees?
@w7voa Musk is an idiot. This just in.
@w7voa
"I would like to apologise ..."
but I'm not going to.
@w7voa
Musk is the person for whom the meme "Christ, what an asshole" was invented.
@w7voa
Someone finally plucked up the courage to tell Elmo about the "100 million dollar if I'm fired" clause in Hallis contract.
@w7voa
As an aside, Halli is an idiot if he doesn't sue.
@w7voa Things are normal at Twitter.
@w7voa deviating reply. It probably won't affect Musk but I appreciate his raw honesty

@w7voa

Hey everyone, this thread is worth checking out. Come for the education about MD, stay for the trolling talent, with gems such as:

"My family is the best. I have two kids. I see them every day. I recommend that. My wife is fantastic. Strong, kind, smart, amazing artist. Couldn't be happier with her."

@fortyseven @w7voa wow. That was an amazing reply. I don’t know much about employment law but what Musk did there can’t be legal can it?! None of that seems normal at all.
@w7voa This is a textbook example of how NOT to be a boss.
@softicecreamlesley @w7voa ... just watch this screenshot end up in an HR textbook at one point...
@vsp @softicecreamlesley @w7voa is this an open over under? Can I have the Fall2023 edition? I bet those authors will make emergency edits to get it in there!
@w7voa management by tweet... HR and legal departments (if they still exist) have to love it, right? Right?
@w7voa
How freaky is this exchange?

@w7voa I'm still thinking of the lady in Ireland who had to get her job back...

Pesky European labor laws.

@w7voa From nowhere Twitter just blocked my account! I was participating in a #MariaSpaces conversation on poor governance in Tanzania before Elon Musk ordered his robots to 'permanently suspend' my account. Can't wait for Twitter to collapse! @MariaSTsehai thank you for being the champion and voice for true democratic change in Tanzania and in Africa!

For the record I am done with Twitter. Never going back to that crap!

@w7voa this fellow was literally person of the year in Icelandn in 2022

Haraldur Þorleifsson Sweeps Person of the Year Awards

Haraldur Þorleifsson, known as Halli, has swept several Person of the Year awards in Icelandic media. Ramp Up Iceland...

Iceland Review
@w7voa Anticipating screenshot 3 which will contain a lawsuit against Haraldur for breaking confidentiality despite there being written permission to do so.
@w7voa @wanderinglens Yeah, I would not trust Elon to hold with what he said on Twitter. At least it’s in writing and screen-grabbed. My actual suspicion is the head of HR knows this person was fired and that it violates Icelandic law and doesn’t want to say.
@w7voa I'm locked out of my work account. What is my password? It's approved, go ahead.
@w7voa why do I find this all very entertaining? Am I a bad person? 😈
@keithmcgrath @w7voa I certainly feel like one, I've been giggling over this since yesterday:
@w7voa When any C-suite says "it's approved" with no paper trail, prepared to be burned.
@w7voa I hope the MSM amplifies this story. It shines a really bright light on the contrasts in character between two humans.
