Twitter chief executive Elon Musk has apologized over an exchange he had on the platform with an employee, BBC reported.

It came after worker Halli Thorleifsson tweeted to Musk saying: "Your head of HR is not able to confirm if I am employed or not".

Musk responded by asking: "What work have you been doing?"

After a series of follow up questions and answers Thorleifsson said he received an email confirming that he had been fired.

Musk followed that Twitter conversation with a tweet on Tuesday describing Thorleifsson as "the worst" before deleting it.

But in an apparent change of heart, Musk took to the platform a few hours later to apologize - and appeared to offer Thorleifsson his job back.

"I would like to apologize to Halli for my misunderstanding of his situation. It was based on things I was told that were untrue or, in some cases, true, but not meaningful."

"He is considering remaining at Twitter," he added.

On Monday, Mr Thorleifsson told the BBC exclusively that he could not get an answer from Twitter's human resources department on whether or not he had been sacked. (With inputs from Agencies)
