'A misunderstanding' | HR ghosted disabled Twitter worker as Elon Musk mocked him online

A disabled Twitter employee reached out to Elon Musk to ask if he still had a job, having been ghosted by HR for several days. But instead of the answer he was looking for, the employee found himself being mocked by the Twitter owner for having a disability.

Haraldur Thorleifsson, who lives in Iceland, was one of approximately 200 Twitter employees who found themselves unexpectedly logged out of their company accounts last week.

Having received no official contact from HR about his employment status (or lack thereof), after nine days he took to the social media platform itself to ask Musk what was going on.

“Dear @elonmusk, 9 days ago the access to my work computer was cut, along with about 200 other Twitter employees. However your head of HR is not able to confirm if I am an employee or not. You've not answered my emails. Maybe if enough people retweet you'll answer me here?” wrote Thorleifsson, who goes by ‘Halli’.
