I mean, if I were that guy, I would definitely be saying stuff like "well, it really looked like you fired me there, in violation of our contract, which would incur massive penalties for you, but I think we can agree you didn't actually fire me and actually instead gave me a huge bonus for this quarter"

Think someone mentioned it before, but yeah he may actually be wanting the huge pay out at the moment, just because previously he was doing it under the understanding that he would be getting a continuous pay and all that. With how twitters going, getting paid now and just donating what he wants to donate could be a far safer option. Who the hell knows if twitters even going to be about next year.

What happens if halli doesn't come back and musk doesn't pay out his contract. Musk seems to be very good at not paying for things he's obligated to and facing zero consequences for it

Goodnight everyone, today was an incredibly funny day on twitter dot com and it was extremely fun seeing musk completely eat poo poo and get totally owned once again. I wonder what completely unforced, pointless spat he will get himself humiliated in next.

I wonder if employment lawyers see a Christmas ham every time Musk tweets.

I just relayed this story to my dad and he kept cracking up, but every time I had to say "hold on, I'm still not done," layering more and more insanity on to it. One of the best Elon days in recent memory.

Halli has the kind of contract capitalism prioritizes above literally everything else and even Musk can’t avoid.

Haraldur Þorleifsson Sweeps Person of the Year Awards
Haraldur Þorleifsson, known as Halli, has garnered multiple Person of the Year Awards from various Icelandic media outlets, including from national broadcaster RÚV, Morgunblaðið, and Vísir.

Halli, a 45 year-old designer, gained nation-wide recognition this year when, after the sale of his tech company Ueno to Twitter, he chose to be paid the sale price as wages. Normally in such large sales, the payment comes in the form of stock or other financial instruments, which categorize the sale as capital gains, meaning it is taxed at a much lower rate. Halli, however, gladly paid the higher tax rate, having spoken publicly on many occasions about the benefits he has received from the Icelandic social system.

Halli was born with muscular dystrophy and came from a working class background. In statements about his decision to pay back into the Icelandic social system, he cited both healthcare and education in Iceland as keys to his success. Notably, he was one of the highest tax payers in the nation after the sale of Ueno.

Since the sale of Ueno, Halli has engaged in numerous philanthropic pursuits, earning a reputation as Iceland’s benevolent tech titan.

One of his best-known projects is Ramp Up Iceland, which is building ramps throughout the nation to increase accessibility for people in wheelchairs. He has also personally donated to the legal funds of victims of sexual abuse, and has garnered praise for charitable donations to families in need this holiday season.

No wonder Musk is mad at him. He is everything that Musk longs to be.

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole drat life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down
He thought, "Concerning."
