Elon Musk Issues Public Apology To Disabled Employee He Mocked Online

Elon Musk apologized to a Twitter employee after publicly ridiculing his uncertainty about layoffs and dismissing his disability.

“I would like to apologize to Halli for my misunderstanding of his situation.  It was based on things I was told that were untrue or, in some cases, true, but not meaningful,” Musk tweeted Tuesday.  “He is considering remaining at Twitter.”

Initially, Haraldur Thorleifsson, a senior director for Twitter headquartered in Iceland, informed Musk that access to his computer had been disabled nine days before the purported 200-employee layoff.  Thorleifsson tweeted, “your head of HR is not able to clarify if I am an employee or not.”

Musk replied, asking, “what work have you been doing?” Thorleifsson provided a list of his tasks in response; Musk then appeared to cast doubt on several points.  “Pics or it didn’t happen,” he tweeted.

In a follow-up tweet, Musk said Thorleifsson “did no actual work, claimed as an excuse that he had a disability that prevented him from typing.”

Thorleifsson explained that he has muscular dystrophy, a degenerative disease that left him in a wheelchair over 20 years ago.

“I’m not able to do manual work (which in this case means typing or using a mouse) for extended periods of time without my hands starting to cramp,” he said.  “I can, however, write for an hour or two at a time.  This wasn’t a problem in Twitter 1.0 since I was a senior director, and my job was mostly to help teams move forward, give them strategic and tactical advice.”

Twitter is now being sued by hundreds of former employees, alleging broken severance promises and, in some cases, discrimination.
