His Name Is Death Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, StefanAVFC said: **** sake It gets worse than that: This is the dude in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haraldur_Ingi_Þorleifsson Quote Haraldur Ingi "Halli" Þorleifsson (born 1977) is an Icelandic entrepreneur, businessman and philanthropist. The founder of the company Ueno and the 2019 Icelandic businessman of the year, he sold his company to Twitter in 2021, then worked for Twitter until he was fired in 2023 following a "bizarre" interaction with Elon Musk on the platform. Early life and career Haraldur was born with a genetic congenital muscle disease that forced him to use a wheelchair at the age of 24. His mother died when he was 11. In 2014, Haraldur founded the creative technology services company Ueno. In 2019, he was named the Icelandic businessman of the year by the Icelandic Association of Business and Economists. In early 2021, Haraldur sold Ueno to Twitter. In an agreement between him and Twitter, most of the purchase price was paid as salary to maximize the tax he would pay for the sale in Iceland. Per the agreement, he paid the second highest tax of an individual in Iceland in 2021. In March 2021, Haraldur helped launch a project called Ramp Up Reykjavík, a collaborative venture undertaken by local businesses, labour unions, government ministries, associations, banks, and city officials with the intention of helping local businesses install wheelchair ramps to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. After the project's success, a new project called Ramp Up Iceland was started with the intention of building 1,000 ramps around Iceland. In December 2022, he was named the Icelandic Person of the Year by RÚV. 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. Following an interaction with Elon Musk on Twitter in March 2023 where Musk "trolled" him, Haraldur received confirmation from Twitter's human resources department that he had indeed been terminated Having a congenital muscle disease is certainly some "excuse".

Musk doesn’t give a shit. $1m, $5m, $10m, $50m? Whatever he ends up paying out is pennies to him. He should be banged in court (kw) in front of a judge who refuses to allow a financial settlement preferring to issue a custodial sentence. As fines have proven not to be a deterrent. That might get a change of attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it'd reorient his moral compass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post His Name Is Death Posted March 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Musk's dickriders are so bizarre. I've seen replies from people who have such blind faith in him that they insist on human trials being 'sped up' for Neuralink. What's most ridiculous to me is being sure that, if George Soros or Bill Gates were trying to develop human brain chips, they’d be shitting their pants and crying conspiracy. But, because it’s epic troll rocket man Musk, they don’t care. Edited March 7, 2023 by His Name Is Death 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musk is now the overlord of the trolls, genocide apoligists, Putin-lovers and the rest of the filth on twitter. The sooner this shitty platform dies, the better. I'm pretty sure that Icelandic bloke can get Musk barred from Iceland at this rate, they take their anti-discrimination laws very seriously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Name Is Death Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Just to show how big of an idiot Elon is... Tesla is currently advertising for a UI/UX designer. Skills required include: Must be proficient and highly skilled in Figma and other design tools Ability to prototype in Figma, Keynote, or HTML/CSS https://www.tesla.com/careers/search/job/ux-designer-design-system-173257 The man doesn't even realise that his precious Tesla screens, user interfaces and design system are built using tools like Figma. All he's proved is that he's happy to laugh at people who are just using industry standard tools applicable to their actual job.

I loved the emerald mine and covid would only last two weeks bits. I also bet Elon will get his account banned, and then claim he's all for free speech again.

When the pilots take their hands of the wheel, the plane doesn't crash immediately. Years of institutional knowledge have been lost because people don't want to work with this massive penis. The brand name and inertia is all it has going for it right now, it has no money, and a workforce that's had one of the biggest self-inflicted braindrains I've ever seen. But he's a billionaire so he must know what he's doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
