Haraldur Þorleifsson is the founder and CEO of Ueno which was acquired by Twitter a couple of years ago. Yesterday he was really publicly fired from Twitter after a bizarre exchange with Elon Musk. The gist of it is that he had been locked out of his workstation for 9 days, and after failing to get a response from Twitter’s HR, he resorted to asking Elon on Twitter.

He wasn’t even fired yesterday, he’d been cut as part of the recent layoffs of acquired founders that also included Esther Crawford and Leah Culver. He was just trying to get ahold of HR!

  HR was laid off. NewTwitter is the Monty Python Holy Grail credits incarnate. "Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked."

    Here's hoping we end up with the Mariachi version of Twitter as a result.
