It's insane how bad Elon stepped in it with this guy. While I'm sure there were many people at Twitter doing mostly nothing, he happens to publicly pick on a guy who single-handedly built one of the most well-respected branding agencies in the tech industry, and who also has debilitating muscular dystrophy.

The optics could not be worse. I mean this guy is literally in a wheel chair.

If you were a well-funded tech company looking for design help from say 2014-2020, Ueno was probably on your shortlist (they're basically the reason most company landing pages look the way they do today). The fact that twitter could not find something valuable for this guy to do reflects more on the current state of Twitter management than it does on him.
