This is the twitter employee Elon Musk is trying to publicly shame today, Iceland’s person of the year who was born with muscular dystrophy into a working class home and built a tech company, sold it to twitter and then paid the full tax rate:

gotta say, this thread where an employee who had access cut over a week ago with no word from hr very sincerely tries to figure out if he was fired (he was) only to get repeatedly belittled and mocked by his boss, the richest man in the world, is real fucking infuriating, man https://t.co/Htt8xrFnv0

Halli is an award winning designer whose company was acquired by Twitter.

Halli was born with muscular dystrophy in a working class family. He chose a higher tax rate for the sale to pay back into the Icelandic social system.

Today, Elon Musk publicly mocked and fired him. https://t.co/tUSaxZ4oYL pic.twitter.com/GREC8cgLtx

Hi again @elonmusk 👋

I hope you are well.

I’m fine too. I’m thankful for your interest in my health.

But since you mentioned it, I wanted to give you more info.

I have muscular dystrophy. It has many effects on my body.

Let me tell you what they are: https://t.co/2vb16kP6Yv
