The Twitter employee Musk harassed on twitter is Haraldur Þorleifsson. Haraldur made a tech company, sold it for profit and has been using the money to do things like Ramp Up Iceland which aims to make businesses and public spaces in his home country of Iceland wheelchair accessible. The reason he took salary in lieu of a lump sum for his company was to increase his tax burden, since he was able to get good healthcare and become and entrepreneur due to Iceland's social programs and wants to give back. He has the highest tax burden of anyone in his country.

He actually created things, actually made money off of his own work, and has been using a large portion of the money for the public good... he is all the things Musk pretends to be.

I am trying to use google translate to verify a few things I can only find sources for in Icelandic... but google translate is telling me that the man gathered cows until he had one really big cow? I am seeing claims that twitter bought the company to buy code they needed, but I am not sure.
