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.
good summary here:
you have to be a psychopath to get as much money as Elon has. any decent person will drop out to do whateverthefuck makes them happy long before hitting the multi-billion mark. Halli looks to be a fantastic example of someone doing exactly that.
a "normal" person would be absolutely wrecked by being personally responsible for a mass layoff and all the pain that brings to the people affected. you have to enjoy hurting people to choose being a CEO when you have enough money for several lifetimes
Yeah, I can entirely see Elon’s smooth brain thinking he can disparage this guy on Twitter and it will get him out of paying the millions he’s owed for selling his company.
Meanwhile some junior partner probably busted into the law office like the kid from the matrix "elon just fired haraldur"
https://www.icelandreview.com/news/haraldur-thorleifsson-sweeps-person-of-the-year-awards/
"the FTC also asked the company to “identify all journalists” granted access to company records"
"The agency asked Twitter to describe the “nature of access granted each person” and how allowing that access “is consistent with your privacy and information security obligations under the Order.” It asked if Twitter conducted background checks on the journalists, and whether the journalists could access Twitter users’ personal messages."

TrumpMusk: "RIGGED INVESTIGATION"
"UNCONSTITUTIONAL WITCH HUNT"
"PHONY RINO"
jesus christ his tweets are indistinguishable from trump now, just more boring
*musk looks out his window and sees a growing crowd of drooling disability litigation lawyers like a walking dead scene*
Disability stuff isn't anything you want to fuck with if you make it very obvious you fired someone with money for disability reasons. And Musk was dumb enough to comment exactly on this on twitter and is preserved forever.
Told by who exactly? The voices in his head?
"Why didn't anyone tell me the dumb shit I was making up to attack my posting enemies wasn't true?!"
Also "upon learning I have committed many crimes and he has done nothing wrong I would like to say it was all just a silly misunderstanding"
Holy shit.
I can’t believe any of this is real. I’m super, super glad for Iceland dude because honestly I think there’s a good chance Elon found a way to fuck him/wait him out and dwindle his finances.
But like just holy shit on the level of advertising your gross incompetence as an executive of any kind for the entire world to see. It’s Elon’s bi-polar coaster.
What a just insane, unhinged blowout lol.
I like how the best, pro musk spin he could put on it is that the man he committed open libel against is "considering" staying at twitter. That choice of wording stuck out to me.
That dude must of had a hell of a contract, huh?
@cspam “western” - first time Poland was called that. Unless you look from Russia.🥴

Twitter Death Cult
