  • He mocked a disabled former Twitter employee, Haraldur Thorleifsson, who has muscular dystrophy and uses a wheelchair, in a series of tweets on March 7, 2023 Thorleifsson had tweeted at Musk to ask if he was still employed at Twitter, after he lost access to his work computer along with 200 others. Musk accused him of doing no actual work, claiming a disability that prevented him from typing, and seeking a big payout 2 He also posted emojis and a link to a scene from Office Space to ridicule him.

    Just to add to this, Thorleifsson had sold his company to Twitter but taken the payout as a salaried job so that he paid full taxes on it. The big payout if Musk sacked him was part of the deal to buy the company. Musk is willfully ignorant for every possible meaning of the term.

    Yeah, they’re banned from lemmygrad. Rule 5:

    1. No capitalist apologia / anti-communism.
    1. No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
    1. Be respectful. This is a safe space where all comrades should feel welcome, this includes a warning against uncritical sectarianism.
    1. No porn or sexually explicit content (even if marked NSFW).
    1. No right-deviationists (patsocs, nazbols, strasserists, duginists, etc).
