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

Posted on 10/27/2022 6:51:15 PM PDT by JV3MRC

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.

Saw that video.

What a bunch of pampered losers. Fire them all.

Let them start their own businesses - since they already know how to code!

They can go get some of those ‘green jobs.’

Musk also fired Vijaya Gadde who was Twitter’s top lawyer. It was her that made the decision to kick Trump off Twitter.

That video is a total metaphor for the pampered left who grew up getting trophies for showing up as everyone one around them sought to build up their self-esteem. Is there any wonder why they are so utterly pampered going to “work” and being treated like little princesses with kid gloves? Is there any wonder -at all- why these little lord Fauntleroys are so hypersensitive and so easily offended.

Thank heavens these little cupcakes didn’t have to face World War II.

I had hopes of Musk going through with a paintball gun like Ari in Entourage. Oh well. This is still awesome.
