Like I wish that wasn&amp;#x27;t the reason and was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for awhile but it&amp;#x27;s pretty clear at this point it&amp;#x27;s just because he likes to do it.</text></comment>

He lays off a guy with a fairly large Twitter following, who is quite wealthy, having founded a company that sold to Twitter, and is a well-known philanthropist in his own country, who also happens to have muscular dystrophy.&lt;p&gt;The guy politely tries to get his attention to find out whether he still has a job. And Musk&amp;#x27;s response is to interrogate him publicly, mock him, and accuse him of using his disability as an excuse to avoid work.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s cretinous in so many different ways it&amp;#x27;s hard to see how the stupidest person would think it a sensible course of action.</text></comment>
