Haraldur Þorleifsson burns Elon Musk

Just to make sure I have some of these references... everyone reading this has probably seen this, but.... Haraldur Þorleifsson is from Iceland, started the design firm Ueno. He has a muscular atrophy disorder. mbl.i s readers chose him "person of the year" for 2022, and apparently he's very known for his charitable work in Iceland. He sold Ueno to Twitter in an acqui-hire deal.

A few weeks ago, Twitter had a round of layoffs, his work computer stopped working, but HR wouldn't confirm that he got laid off. He tweeted about this. The exchanges became a public conversation with Elon Musk.

Decent summary: Phony Stark Picks on the Wrong Guy, Attempting (and of Course Botching) an HR Exit Interview Live on Twitter.

Edit: A TikTok from Alex Pearlman tying the demise of Circuit City, and the amazing number of people who suddenly had a position there on their resume, to the current demise of Twitter.
