Elon Musk claimed Haraldur Thorleifsson 'did no actual work, claimed as an excuse that he had a disability that prevented him from typing.'
Elon Musk has apologized after publicly scoffing at a Twitter employee's uncertainty about whether he had been laid off in a recent round of cuts and speaking dismissively of the employee's disability in a series of tweets Monday night.
Musk responded in a tweet asking, "what work have you been doing?" When Thorleifsson provided a list of his tasks in response, Musk appeared to cast doubt on several points. "Pics or it didn't happen," he tweeted. In a separate tweet, the billionaire said Thorleifsson "did no actual work, claimed as an excuse that he had a disability that prevented him from typing.
Thorleifsson did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment. Twitter, which has cut much of its public relations department, also did not respond.
