No chance the CEO actually approves of Musk’s takeover, but it’s what he has to say anyway.

Why do you say that?

He has only been CEO a few months.

I have read Dorsey was forced out.

Because the current CEO was appointed by the current board, so is presumably aligned with their interests and approach. So why would he want to trade that board for the unknown of Musk? Also, Twitter has become even more exclusionary of dissenting views in recent months under his leadership. So an I coming owner who has stated his intent to move in a different direction can't be something he hopes to have happen.

Twitter’s CEO of the past five months, Parag Agrawal, however, most definitely deserves the boot. Agrawal’s rise to the top job likely precipitated the current showdown with Musk, as he ushered in a new era of Twitter even more censorious than ever before. Virtually from the moment Agrawal settled in, Twitter’s moderation algorithms have been set loose, banning thousands of accounts whose “violations” were no more severe than following the “wrong” people. After Agrawal started, the company banned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Dr. Robert Malone for Covid-19 “misinformation.” In March, it followed up with a ban on the Babylon Bee for naming Rachel Levine “Man of the Year”; that ban appears to be what finally pushed Musk over the edge.

Unlike the rest of the board, Parag is a pure creature of Twitter, having worked there ever since receiving his PhD. Musk should further Agrawal’s personal growth by sending him off on a new career.
