Elon Musk has apologized after publicly scoffing at a Twitter employee’s uncertainty about whether he had been laid off in a recent round of cuts and speaking dismissively of the employee’s disability in a series of tweets.
“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.

Elon Musk publicly criticizes Twitter employee with a disability
Elon doesn’t code, not be because he has muscular dystrophy like this guy, but because he’s smooth brained
@D Hokanson They have to cope from the pain of knowing January 6 was…….NOTHING. 😂 😆 😂
Go read up on what companies he started before he was famous!!!
@Suda and then he takes all the credit for their work.
@Chris Albert whatever intelligence he may have is eradicated by his impulsiveness and belief that he is infallible. He exposed himself to a potential 100 million dollar loss + lawsuit, just so he could feel smug for a minute. Not to mention the effect this has on public relations.
I am so glad I don’t have a Twitter account
@Z1BABOUINOS me too
Im glad too. Less sensitive people on the platform. It has gotten way better.
@1991Chori ah, said like a true MAGA shill
A narcissist ultimately ruins everything.
@Sunny in Milky Way 👈🏻👈🏻 Demented Joe Salad Tosser 😩😂🤣
Guy should sue Elon under the American disabilities act and show me the money
@WastelandWanderer If the guy is from another country that most likely has strong labor protection laws ( Seriously, U.S is an outlier in the developed world in both labor laws and healthcare, and even a significant number of developing countries crush the U.S on these things ) then Elon will likely lose.
@CatD Linux
The man is a contracted employee because Twitter bought his company. What Elon didn’t know when he fired him is he has a massive severance package. That’s why the guy was trying to get an answer if he was terminated or not. The whole thing Elon did going on about his disability is just icing on the cake.
@WastelandWanderer Thanks for clarifying. I only heard about it very recently. I hope there will be justice to the man.
Twitter is the skid mark of dirty laundry
Thank you very much !
Imagine publically shaming someone who had lost their ability to walk and is actively also losing their ability to use their arms as well all because he wanted to know if he was fired or not.
@G.P.B ok you are clearly so biased that will justify anything a conservative does no matter how petty and shitty but never give the benefit of the doubt to a leftist, I get it
@Kai I would argue an employer has every right to fire an employee who is unable to or is unwilling to do their job. If the guy is so wealthy why doesn’t he just relax and accept unemployment or find something else to do.
@I’m just some Canadian guy, and I say sounds like he wasn’t doing his job. People who don’t or can’t do their job usually end up unemployed. Life is hard. I heard the guy is financially independent so I’m sure he can find something more to his liking.
@Sam Kasman why isn’t this channel showing the real 1/6 footage?
@MistaLOD Are you woman splaning me?
So disgusting! just because someone is rich, it doesn’t give them the right to treat people like garbage
Kinda like the Govenment treats us like we’re dumb?
Thank you very much !
Elon Musk is the “I’m not like other girls” of billionaires.
Nailed it. It amazes me he has anyone look up to him like he’s some sort of social justice, free speech warrior..
It’s obvious he bought Twitter to make a safe place for himself & his fragile ego
Thank you very much !
I’m thinking the person in the bow tie was fired because they look too much like Elon Musk. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!
He always makes me think of Regina George’s mom in Mean Girls ‘I’m not like the other billionaires, I’m a cool billionaire’ 🤣
The only good that came out of this is that it continues to confirm and show us that he has no compassion and sympathy.
Probably the idea. And CNN and the media will help.
@Angel Aguas Your welcome
@Svnny haha! Spectrumed up.
Have your seen the real Jan 6 footage?
Yes you have!!
i’m proud to have left twitter platform .
SO ARE WE!!!!!..THE LESS WE HAVE LIKE YOU THE BETTER PLATFORM IT BECOMES
Thank you very much !
A know lot of people have joined it since he took over. I never use it.
We at tweeter are happy you ain’t there no more.
I’m sorry for this guy but it’s funny. This guy is going to sue the pants off Elon and Twitter. He’s going to win.
@yosos2 tragic bronson alert. tragic BRONSON alert
@WastelandWanderer – We are not at war.
@HeavenGuy
I didn’t say we were at war.
@The News In ASL This is how badly Elon fucked up: Elon issued a public apology, which completely out of character for him.
So, what can the ‘common folk’ do? If we don’t like the Elon Musk treats his employees then maybe we need to stop using Twitter. I think I am just about to that point right now. Social media in general, in my limited opinion, is a failed social experiment. On balance I don’t think social media has made us healthier, happier, or wiser.
I talked to Lauren boebert about
stuff she isn’t doing in our state I got reported and next thing you know I got reported
Brilliantly stated!
The employee is also a great dude all around. He couldn’t have picked a worse target.
@TurboFreak You’re broke, and I’m woke, what are we to do? 🙂
@TurboFreak Riigghhtt… LOL!
@MrWaalkman so funny! Right!
Malcom X is right about you and all liberals
Elon Musk I used to have no idea about the man, just a name ,now he has shown that human excrement does not leave the bodies of some ,but builds up to burst out across the world
for some, there is no end to a never ending downward spiral
Thank you very much !
Yup. I’m sure your accomplishments and contributions to humanity far outweigh his.
@G.P.B The disabled person has a $100m severance written into his contract, because that’s how valuable his work is. Elon fucked up so badly that he issued a public apology, which is completely out of character for him.
Smartest man in the world never heard of speech to text lmao
@Blazeww4207 at least you have use of your limbs.
@Blazeww4207 money daddy Elon is always right I hope he sees this and gives you a big boy hug
@Blazeww4207 maybe when you start up a company that twitter buys off you, then you can cry about the employee being lazy
@Juice Ten it’s literally in his tweet, clown. I even said at the time he should’ve just claimed speech to tweet but he didn’t.
Elon Musk is the winning argument for why we need wage and labor laws and why we need even better enforcement.
Some adults do need diapers.
@HeavenGuy yep Musk needs a size 4
@Noneofyour Business oh wow what an intelligent comment
The employee took his payout in wages (vs a lump sum of hundreds of millions of dollars) so that he’d be in a higher tax bracket, in order to better support the government in their efforts to make Iceland more wheelchair accessible. He’s a goddamn model citizen.
What? That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard lol. Why do you think his taxes would go to installing wheelchair ramps? That’s not how taxes work 😂
@Tony it is in countries like Iceland that don’t hate their own citizens
@steverico 🤣
@Tony go towards that in part also other government services like police etc
I’m thinking the person in the bow tie was fired because they look too much like Elon Musk. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!
He didn’t just critique,he mocked,he belittle.Such Dispicable behavior from a so called adult.
Today I heard that doctors that gave up decades of their lives that didnt have kids working 90 hour weeks for years in impossible settings “weren’t about public health”. I see why a lot of doctors that did their part trying to help others are leaving in droves talking about other professions on kevinmd.
Cant say I have a lot of respect for people that attacked doctors that lost their lives trying to make it better for patients and causing health care to crash for all..
