Haraldur "Halli" Þorleifsson is the employee Elon is currently making fun of on Twitter. He has muscular dystrophy.

He's won multiple Person of the Year awards from Icelandic media outlets for his efforts to build wheelchair ramps across the country and his charitable givings during the holidays.

When his design firm Ueno was acquired by Twitter in 2021, he opted to be paid the sale price through wages rather than receiving stock that would be taxed at the much lower capital gains tax rate.

His employment contract wasn't that of a typical employee, nor is his termination. Twitter now owes him the entirety of his outstanding sale payment.
