Recently, an official from the twitter contacted directly with Elon Musk to ask if he had been fired. The question was asked by Twitter itself, a popular platform for news, entertainment and social commentary.
Halli Thorleifsson wrote to the company's CEO: "Your head of HR cannot confirm whether I am employed or not." After that, Musk responded by asking: “What work have you been doing?”. Come and understand the unfolding of this story!

As Thorleifsson told the BBC, nine days after he lost access to his work computer, he did not know whether he had been sacked or not. However, Thorleifsson said he subsequently received an email confirming that he had been sacked.
Who is Halli Thorleifsson?
Thorleifsson is 45 years old and was Twitter's senior director of product design. As he told the BBC, the uncertainty surrounding his work was "strange" and "extremely stressful". He says that one day he opened the computer and saw that the screen was gray and locked, indicating that he was prevented from logging into Twitter accounts.
“After a few days had passed, I started reaching out to people, including Elon and the head of HR, to ask about my situation. Since then, the head of HR has emailed me twice and has not been able to respond as to whether or not I was still employed by Twitter,” Halli said.
Musk pronounces
Musk criticized Thorleifsson and said that the former collaborator did not do a good job.
“The reality is that this guy (who is independently wealthy) didn't do a real job, he gave it away. sorry he had a disability that prevented him from typing but was simultaneously tweeting without to stop."
Twitter is going through a complicated phase. That's because Elon Musk would have fired more than 200 employees. The company now has just over 2,000 employees. Very small number, since, in October, before Musk became CEO, the company had around 7,500 who were part of its workforce.
Halli's dissatisfaction is related to the company's lack of communication with its employees.
“They usually let people know about it, but that part seems to be optional on Twitter now,” said the former Twitter contributor.
