Re: Worker asks Elon Musk on Twitter: Have I been fired?
#2I know a lot of people like Elon in real life. Not nearly as successful. But the traits are similar:
- Disorganized
- Takes a lot of risks
- Flexible in decisions
- Makes decisions on a whim without thinking through consequences
- Makes bold plans without knowing exactly how to do it
- Analytical
- Loves science, history, tech, memes
The same traits that allow him to be so successful are also traits that make him chaotic.
If anyone subscribes to Myers Briggs, then Elon is a classic INTP. Some of my good friends are also INTP. I enjoy working with them a lot. But if they ever do the leading, expect chaos but you'll be working on something cool.

Elon is only INTP if INTP means "horrible person" (I'd use much stronger words if I thought it wouldn't get me blocked).
Someone who has worked hard is just trying to find out if they are employed. There is a massive power imbalance -- probably one of the largest power embalances two people on Earth can have, and all Elon can do is answer with memes, emojis and slander (Elon's latest tweet on the issue is "The reality is that this guy (who is independently wealthy) did no actual work, claimed as his excuse that he had a disability that prevented him from typing, yet was simultaneously tweeting up a storm. "). Given Elon's previous experiences with insulting people he doesn't like, I'm not going to believe that without some independant evidence.

That is something he has openly stated that he is worried about. His disease is progressing and the aquihire was his retirement fund.
Haraldur's public persona (I know of him in no other capacity) can sometimes rub people the wrong way, but I believe his heart is wholeheartedly in the right place.
He moved to Iceland after Twitter aquired his design company specifically to be able to pay the maximum amount of taxes. In his own words, it was to pay his fair share to the system that helped his poor family when growing up, as well as had helped him medically.
And since he has also driven an initiative to have wheelchair ramps built at various buildings in Reykjavík, making accessibility for those who are wheelchair bound much better.
Neither he nor any other current or past employee of this dead husk of a company deserves to be stuck in the chaotic death spiral that surrounds Elmo.

Elon Musk is a horrible person. Period.

Bloody hell, even by Magic Car Man standards, this isn't great.
I'm not sure what he's actually going for here? He's clearly desperate for people to like his (fairly miserable) Twitter output, but who does he think _this_ is going to appeal to?

His ramp initiative is very cool, he’s also setting up a cafe the past few months, but none of this is actually part of his work he’s paid for at Twitter.
If Twitter was his retirement fund then I don’t know what to say really, you bet on an unknown, needlessly burned money on taxes to feel good in the short term and then treated Twitter like a side gig.
I wish the guy well but just because his actions outside of Twitter were noble doesn’t mean Twitter should finance it just because he joins a few meetings a week. Should have been No.1 priority to keep that paying out, the cafe can wait till actual retirement.
Complacency.
