little baby bitch boy musk afraid of his own employees lol
Kinda wondering if Elon is just suffering from amphetamine paranoia or if he's actually worried about getting bonesawed by the Saudis who he owes all that money to.
Probably both.
Twitter is only one website therefore it only needs one site reliability engineer
https://www.platformer.news/p/how-a-single-engineer-brought-down
gonna post all my content on the site that won't take DMCA requests seriously, fuck yeah
and surely the guy that won't pay rent will pay me for my content
Who would have thought that Elon would rush to the defense of people who copy/paste other people's stuff and pass it off as their own?
i'm sure the replies are full of empathetic folks offering words of support, now to scroll down...
this guy was iceland's person of the year in 2022, has done more productive work and more good for humanity than elon by a wide margin
and is currently getting mocked by the richest man in the world and his hooting apes as though he's an Engineer-1 who's trying to bluster through a code review (which would still be incredibly assholish behavior by elon and co)
Does elon delete these tweets when he realizes he's cry-laughing at a person with muscular dystrophy who has won national awards both for his design work and also his material contributions to equality and disability causes? Nope.
This is an incredible level of shitty behavior and being an abhorrent human being, even for Elon. Holding his contract hostage after taking his company and making him grovel in public to determine if he gets paid what his contract owes is some next level psychopathy.
This guy took a salary for the sale of his company so he’d pay the maximum tax in Iceland vs a lump sum, so he’s probably owed a lot of money.
I’m sure with the way courts have ruled in Elon’s favor this guy will get what he’s owed.
Elon has just made an enemy of the entire nation of Iceland.
"After my website completely shat the bed for 2 hours today, I decided to pick a fight and publicly humiliate a disabled former employee, who is also a well known and highly esteemed philanthropist, for the crime of asking why no-one in HR had even replied to his email asking if he was fired.
Just another day as a gigachad CEO"
huh, apparently Elon just hates iceland?

"Sir, do you even know what a Figma is?"
"No, what's a Figma with you? Rolling laughing emoji with tears streaming down it's face."
"Sir, did you just--"
"You're fired. You fucking moron."
Love saving my company $500k and sucking on the pudgy toes of my favorite CEO in exchange for a grand slam breakfast
Not at all surprised by musk's treatment of Halli as it seems very typical of his personality. I find it a lot harder to read all the musk sycophants jumping in to insult him. just so fucking gross
Holy fucking shit if that isn't clear cut discrimination and fucking hate crimes against someone disabled.
Like dude just daily somehow keeps digging fucking deeper into the bedrock and keeps fucking finding new lows.
Just fuck you Elon, fuck you.
He is genuinely the biggest piece of shit in the world, jesus christ.
I get why that kid pushed him down a flight of stairs and put him in the hospital in elementary school now.
Here's some background on Hali's alleged deal with Twitter, taken from ResetEra's Musk thread:
Sounds like he's owed a rather large amount of money over time as compensation for pre-Musk Twitter acquiring his company, and Musk is trying to stiff him
This information matches what's been reported in this BBC article:
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64871183
I sincerely hope that the dude has a contract like resetera states and it then gets a goddamn country to sue Twitter for breaking contract and drags him over the coals. Dude deserves way better then how's he's being treated
The guy didn't even insult Elon or slight him at all, and Elon just openly, in front of God, the Meme Community, and everyone viciously shit talked this dude for daring to speak to him.
This is a new nadir, even for Elon. Proper Twilight Zone shit seeing that all play out in public. Of all the things that have happened this in particular has left me reeling, like it’s too surreal to have actually happened in our reality.
What is a poor Elon to do but make a complete ass of himself in public instead of just sorting this internally, like a normal company would?
Why Apple and co would continue to advertise on this platform is beyond me. There comes a point where the public antics of the very ingratiated figurehead reflect on you if you’re putting money in their/his pocket.
I did an instant follow on the Icelandic dude and he is slamming Elon into the ground
His lawyer must've given him the go-ahead to drag Elon through the mud
Get his ass
remember how he made a joke about the automated new manager training notification he got after buying twitter? maybe he should have taken it
then again they probably wouldn't put in "Don't fire someone and then in a public forum say you did it because you think they're faking a disability" because no one thought it needed to be said
Just fake news all around, spread by a nazi, then boosted by Musk
-the woman in the video he's replying to is a Dutch far-right provocateur
-the farmer she's talking about isn't a farmer and doesn't live in the province he claims to live in
-he stole the story from facebook where it was posted by another guy, an actual farmer who was also lying
-No farmers have been forced to stop, and certainly not for the reason she claims (Dutch Debunk: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1633057193535631361.html )
Truly inscrutable politics~
"I sleep at Twitter, do you?"
"No I sleep in my house, with my wife."
“I have 2 kids. I see them every day. I recommend that.”
just because you're in a wheelchair doesn't mean you can't dunk
Arguments about disability and what work he has done aside, it seems pretty clear that he is being paid for the sale of his company. He is pretty much collecting paychecks as an installment plan, so any work he accomplishes at all is gravy, frankly. I hope they have to pay the guy an exorbitant amount for breaking contract.
The case with the Iceland guy might go a bit different than other cases it seems:

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)
Further down in the quoted thread, they link to a part of the article that says Halli elected to receive the buyout payment for Ueno as a salary, rather than as a lump-sum buyout, because the latter would be taxed as capital gains (less) and Halli was fine with paying salary income taxes (more) because he'd benefitted from the Icelandic social system and wanted to give back at that level instead.

even the dogecoin guy was telling him it's not a good look and he still doubled down... now its deleted

lol if one of the lawyers tackled him and wrestled his phone away
Work being lines of code, I assume
The big payout being the one that he’s contractually owed lol
Yeah love getting to know Elon through questions like “hey can you have HR call me it looks like I’m fired but no one will talk to me” and getting such insightful insights into Elon as “likes to make an idiot out of himself”
The article that that is from seems to have been taken down. luckily its still up on the internet archive
Trump’s usage of Twitter gave me a constant headache but he at least just wanted to use it to projectile diarrhea his stream of consciousness all over the place. Elmo tries to do the same thing but then also tries to mix it up like a 2006 forums poster everyone hates. Can’t summon up the willpower to disengage and tries to roll with the punches.
@cspam That interview with his father is wild. This says so much: “ He said that even as a pre-schooler, Elon had set his sights on becoming the wealthiest man alive, crediting that uber-macho "South African boy" upbringing with driving his ambition.
"It's part of the way we lived, the way I lived. We strove to be the best we could," he told AFP in an interview…”
