In February 2023, despite being on a "do not fire" list, Haraldur's employment with Twitter was allegedly terminated after an additional round of layoffs, although he received no confirmation.[23][24] Following an interaction with Elon Musk on Twitter in March 2023 where Musk "trolled" him,[25] Haraldur received confirmation from Twitter's human resources department that his employment had indeed been terminated.[24][26] Following Musk's tweet where he alleged that Haraldur did no real work at Twitter and was using his disability as an excuse, Haraldur responded in a series of tweets where he went over his medical condition while criticizing Musk.[27] Musk later apologized for his "misunderstanding of his situation" after a video call with Haraldur, stating that he was considering remaining at Twitter.[28][29]

the misunderstanding was a 9 figure payout.

I really hope he just takes the pay out. Fuck musk.

But if he does go back... I'd imagine once the contract is up where Twitter won't have to give him a massive payout upon firing him Twitter will immediately fire him. I hope he uses this exchange to prove that he was fired for his disability... And musk is forced to payout dearly at whatever inflated rate this guy was getting. (Inflated because his pay rate was largely actually for the company he had sold Twitter, not for the work he was actually doing)

Whatever happens, I hope it puts musk one step closer to bankruptcy.
