GOOD RIDDANCE: CNBC Says Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal Out After Musk Takes Charge
NewsBusters ^ | 10/27/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal is reportedly out as head of the platform as the world’s richest man completed his $44 billion acquisition after a tumultuous negotiations process.

CNBC reported that Agrawal and Twitter Chief Finance Officer Ned Segal “left the company's San Francisco headquarters” after Musk took charge as the new owner "and will not be returning." Musk shared his statement to Twitter’s advertisers that his free speech vision for the platform is to become a “common digital town square” which stands in stark contrast to Agrawal’s dystopian, anti-free speech nightmare. Agrawal stated in November 2020 that his role was “not to be bound by the First Amendment” but to decide “who can be heard.”

Musk posted a video of himself earlier Thursday walking into Twitter headquarters holding a sink with the caption: “[L]et that sink in!” One thing’s for sure: Agrawal's censorship-obsessed career at Twitter has been officially flushed down the drain.

Can Agrawal be deported since he’s unemployed?

My days are just like that, actually. Well, not the rooftop relaxation area, yoga room, meditation pods, gourmet food or foosball tables. But the meetings, yeah, I do that too. Actually that and e-mail are pretty much all I do, from 8am to 6pm everyday. In a plain room mostly by myself. But other than that, totally the same gig!

I saw today a Elon Musk, Parag Agrawal meme of office space with Parag Agrawal as the character who has the red stapler and Elon Musk takes it away.

Elon is going to be blamed when R’s win back Congress.

Just watch.

12 days to the election and free speech restored? Shocking they allowed it and didn’t at least have DOJ delay it.

Musk is not a conservative. His views can bounce around quite a bit, sometimes left-leaning, sometimes right-leaning, sometimes moderate. But overall, if I had to assign a label to him, I’d generally classify him as a libertarian. At least that’s the overall vibe I get from his various utterances. I’d disagree with him on a bunch of things but I’m cool coexisting with libertarians. But the clearly insane, socialist/fascist/communist pro-Biden, pro-Fetterman Democrats/RINOs? Um, no.

I joined when Elon said he was buying it. It’s my battleground every night.
