Apparently that cat Elon's arguing with is one of the best app designers around the world as well.

His company was actually acquired by Twitter:

  • I started an agency called Ueno. I ran it for seven years before it was acquired by Twitter in 2021. I also started Bueno, a non-profit that donates money to good people doing good things.
  • At Ueno we designed digital brands and experiences for companies like Airbnb, Apple, ESPN, Dropbox, Facebook, Google, NY Times, Oculus, PayPal, Uber, Venmo, Visa, Walmart, and many more.
  • Ueno won awards like Webby’s, D&AD Awards, Red Dot Awards, Awwwards, FWAs, Ad Age best places to work and we were on the Inc 5000 a couple of times.
  • I've also won some awards like designer of the year and such. The president of Iceland even gave me an award once for being good at business things. That was nice of him. Later he gave me The Order of the Falcon, the Icelandic medal of chivalry for contributions to Icelandic social issues. Also very nice of him. And let's not forget I was person of the year in Iceland in 2022.
Twitter literally bought dude's company so they could hire the guy.

That's probably what's happening here, dude is owed money per contract:

Pop shyt and apologize, just ask Musk

Called it:
Whoever is advising Elon most likely a yes man and probably didn't tell him all the extra details about dude's situation :heh:

Dude tried the wrong one today and screwed himself over with a big ass paper trail.
Like many other CEO's dude don't use his brain and overly relies on other people who are sucking up.

Then of course the CEO blames those guys for the due diligence that they themselves didn't do.
