In a Twitter thread that went viral, Halli Thorleifsson was asked by Elon Musk what work he had done for the firm.
A Twitter employee has appealed to Elon Musk on the platform to ask whether he had been sacked.
In a tweet to the firm’s chief executive, Mr Thorleifsson said: „Your head of HR is not able to confirm if I am employed or not“.
Mr Musk responded by asking: „What work have you been doing?“
Halli Thorleifsson told the BBC that nine days after being frozen out of Twitter’s accounts he did not know whether he had been fired or not.
Twitter did immediately respond to the BBC’s request for comment.
Mr Thorleifsson, 45, was a senior director in product design for Twitter. He told the BBC the ambiguity around his job was „strange“ and „extremely stressful“.
„I opened my computer on Sunday morning nine days ago and saw that the screen was grey and locked, indicating that I had been locked out of my Twitter accounts“, he said.
