It was based on things I was told that were untrue or, in some cases, true, but not meaningful. He is considering remaining at Twitter,&#8221; Musk <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1633253950198624257\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted<\/a> Tuesday night was Tuesday, one day after Haraldur Thorleifsson (@halli), went back and forth via the social media platform. He claimed Thorleifsson had no work done and misled Twitter about his disability that prevents him typing. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/elon-musk-jan-6-cheney-kinzinger-schiff-withheld-evidence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MUSK BLASTS JAN. 6 COMMITTEE: CHENEY, KINZINGER, AND SCHIFF \u2018WITHHELD EVIDENCE FOR PARTISAN POLITICAL REASONS&#8217;<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Thorleifsson claimed that he discovered he was not allowed to log on to work&#8217;s computer, and 200 other people were locked out when he did. He tweeted at Musk after not being able to get any information about the job status. &#8220;Maybe if enough people retweet you&#8217;ll answer me here?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Musk answered by questioning Thorleifsson regarding his work. Thorleifsson then explained, with approval to release the confidentiality. Musk interviewed him not only about his work. <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1633011448459964417\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">questioned his disability<\/a> He needs accommodations in order to perform his job. Thorleifsson states that he is disabled from the waist down and needs a wheelchair. Ex-Twitter worker lives in <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iceland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iceland<\/a> He now has around 180,000 Twitter followers. This is an increase of about 30,000 in the time since Musk exchanged with him. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<div class=\"TweetUrl\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Which work are you doing now?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1632904342566211585?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 7, 2023<\/a>               <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>                <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>               <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;To be clear. You have every right to lay me off. That&#8217;s totally fair and fine. But usually people are told when that happens. Maybe with a letter or something. Which didn&#8217;t happen for 9 days despite multiple emails to you and others,&#8221; Thorleifsson also added to Musk&#8217;s tweets. &#8220;But as I shared I finally got confirmation that I am not an employee anymore. Again, that&#8217;s totally within your rights. No complaints. But can you make sure I get paid what I&#8217;m owed?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Thorleifsson made several jabs at Musk after being quizzed about his legality. &#8220;Oh! I forgot to mention that I read you can&#8217;t go to the toilet on your own either <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\">@elonmusk<\/a> I&#8217;m sorry to hear about that.
