Beautiful website. I also think this is the same guy who had to ask Musk if he was fired because HR couldn't confirm it. Maybe it was a mistake to let him ago, he seems to be pretty talented actually.

The way Elon is handling it on Twitter is uniquely bad, and could be opening Twitter up to massive discrimination liability. I would say this does actually make a top ten list.

That's gonna leave a mark.

#14I wish I had the skills to create beautiful/art like website. is there anywhere to get started learning?
I also highly recommend the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards.
Unfortunately there’s no hacks to learn draining overnight. Deliberate practice is the only way. Doodling in the margins of your notes during boring meetings is a great way to get reps in.

And honestly, if you do want to jump into this, there's nothing better than just to start. Use something like codepen and start playing with CSS & CSS animations. Try replicating some of the text animations (there'll be lots of examples on the internet) and go from there. After CSS animations (which will get you 80% of the way), would be helpful to explore composition & color theory (from a design perspective, studying and replicating examples is good to pick up skill and find your "design voice"). From there, the sky's the limit.

But firing someone without communication and with HR unable to confirm it is just low. Mocking them on Twitter for their well-documented physical disability is just abhorrent.
This could have been a completely different exchange if the response was a simple “Sorry for the confusion, I’ll look into it and have HR get back to you ASAP.”

It’s sad but he’ll probably forever now be remembered as “that guy who got publicly fired on Twitter by Musk” rather than Iceland’s person of the year 2022 and all the great philanthropy he’s done :(
