據外媒報道,有 Twitter 員工被無預警地解僱後,向 Elon Musk 尋求答案卻遭嘲笑。事件引起外界對Elon Musk 的批評,其隨後在Twitter上公開向該員工道歉,並稱因有誤會才全有不當言論。
Elon Musk 在正式收購 Twitter 後展開大規模裁員行動。其中一名前員工 Halli Thorliefsson 對被裁一事並不知情,直到發現無法登入 Twitter 內部系統時向人力資源部查詢卻遲遲未得回應。其後,他在自身 Twitter 帳戶上 Elon Musk 詢問是否已被解雇,期望能得到回覆。
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?

Halli Thorliefsson 在得到 Elon Musk 的回覆後隨即便確認被解僱的消息,而這個對話亦廣泛在 Twitter 上被分享後。但 Elon Musk 卻進一步批評 Halli Thorliefsson,表示 Halli 是個知名及活躍的 Twitter 帳戶,且相當富有,認為他以殘疾作為其無法工作的藉口,目的只是想要獲得大筆補償。
而Halli解釋,他把公司出售的其中一個原因是因罹患肌肉萎縮症,並能在未來無法工作時可讓他和家人好好生活。
The reality is that this guy (who is independently wealthy) did no actual work, claimed as his excuse that he had a disability that prevented him from typing, yet was simultaneously tweeting up a storm.
Can’t say I have a lot of respect for that.

而 Elon Musk 的回應引發起外界熱烈的批評,許多人都認為他不應該該這樣對待人。為平息眾怒,Elon Musk 日前發表推文公開向 Halli 致歉,並表示「因被告知的不真實的事情,所以誤解了他的情況」。
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.
He is considering remaining at Twitter.

據了解,Halli Thorliefsson 患有肌肉萎縮症,在 Twitte上有約15萬名追蹤者,並是冰島新創公司 Ueno 的創辦人,但 Ueno 在2021年被 Twitte 收購後,其成為了 Twitte 的員工。
