Ahahaha, he did a triple-down and delete combo. What a little bitch. Now question is, did he delete it because he actually had a shre dof decency, or did he feel bad for speaking rudely to one of his most loyal bootlickers?

Thank u Elon for showing these lazy disableds what real work looks like

the best part of this is that halli's salary was effectively an instalment plan for the buyout of his company, he's owed that money regardless of whether he was doing any work

now instead of paying him for the work he could do they have to pay him to do nothing at all

Hey...what kind of party is this? there's no booze and only one hooker!

silly sevens

From not knowing him, or what he did in the company, to "he's the worst" in a few hours. This is just the most amazing meltdown, all because the guy asked politely if he still had a job. Elon simply couldn't stop escalating for literally no reason at all. I'm in absolute awe. It's like he got a sixer on these forums

You don't, Halli is definitely the best of us.

I mean, the government seems to give a poo poo about its people. We visited back in 2011, an amazing place.

I think at the time, the mayor of Reykjavik was a comedian who entered as a laugh and ended up winning the election. There was a free newspaper we'd read at the Hotel we stayed at that he wrote a column for that was hilariously dry.

I'm genuinely :munch: with this latest development with Twitter. Even more so than usual.

Elon isn't paying for rent, software licenses, or the promised severance pay to everyone he laid off
I doubt he's gonna fork out for this

I mean,
courts will rule in favor of honoring the contract


but if Elon can drive to value of Twitter to zero and declare the company bankrupt, then he doesn't have to pay anyone,
and that's why he's a brilliant entrepreneur

And presumably he asked because the internal lines of finding out are so dysfunctional there was no other way to get that info. It's a top to down indictment of how to not run any sort of organization, whether it's a billion dollar tech company or a Girl Scout Troop's cookie selling operation.

I'm delighted by the fact that while he's getting dragged everywhere, he's currently scrolling and searching fervently for people speaking up in his defense because he's totally not mad.

Musk patently doesn't give a poo poo about lawsuits, though, perhaps even relishes them, particularly if there is the potential or even just the suggestion that they might save some money going down that route vs actually doing the right thing.

Given the sums of money likely involved in that acquisition-paid-as-salary you can bet your life that Elon "fancy buying a pot plant?" Musk and Twitter Inc will just spin it out in court for years.

Musk doesn't seem to face any consequences for anything, much like any sufficiently rich person. Once this Icelandic guy disappears from the news cycles it'll just be him vs the billionaire bitch boy, and we've all seen how that plays out..

I’m guessing Musk will hope that either this guy dies or Twitter dies before he has to pay out the severance. Will likely pay more to outside counsel to gently caress with the guy than just paying him.

Although who knows what the laws are like in Iceland. There’s only like 1000 people on that island so maybe the guy can ask his neighbor the President or King Judge or whatever to haul Twitter into Reykjavik court and own him quickly.

I dunno, there is definitely an accepted way to fire someone for cause and just saying "he did no work lol" isn't really it.

But elon isn't really into acceptable ways of doing stuff

This just sucks because the guy is probably going to have a rough time getting what is owed him and it fires up elon's moron fans even more. Man, twitter's infrastructure can not possibly collapse fast enough.

I don't think that's exactly fair. There were a lot of people that bought Teslas before April last year when the twitter drama started. Musk was clearly an idiot and a "dogecoin" guy before then, but he was super easy to ignore and dismiss as not really affecting anything before he made himself the main character of everything.

Just screaming and flailing like Kermit over here that Elon has it genuinely stuck in his head that the guy was a useless Office Space guy and that a bullet point like "led team to accomplish X" really means "played Solitaire while all my engineers did X"

There were a lot less choices for electric cars, then, too. I knew quite a few people who had the Nissan Leaf, liked it a lot but it was lacking range and oomph, so they went to a Tesla for their next car, when those were functionally your only options.
