Another day, another controversy erupts on Twitter, courtesy Elon Musk. Late last month, another round of layoffs created chaos and confusion among the employees of the microblogging platform.

The employment status of Haraldur Thorleifsson, an Iceland-based entrepreneur and (now a former) Twitter employee, was a case in point.

Haraldur lost access to his work computer one fine day, and after failing to receive a response from the Twitter HR nine days later, he took to Twitter to address his concerns. He tagged Elon Musk, hoping to get some clarity on his employment status.
