Tesla CEO Elon Musk is now in charge of Twitter, CNBC has learned.

Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and finance chief Ned Segal have left the company’s San Francisco headquarters and will not be returning, sources said. Vijaya Gadde, the head of legal policy, trust, and safety was also fired, the Washington Post reported.

Musk had until Friday to complete his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter or face a court battle with the company.

Trump just posted on Truth Social his twitter account is supposed to reinstated by Monday.

“So does this mean Trump gets his Twitter account re-activated tomorrow?”

Most likely not overnight.

However, I have no doubt that a “Musk led Twitter” will understand the $ and media coverage that the 45th President will entail as we head into 2024 campaign season.(Trump is running in 2024 BTW)

Musk has been a “democrat type person” his whole life, but he believes in free speech, which doesn’t fit in with the politically correct censorship that the leftwing nutjobs have been engaged in since the election of Slick Willie.

Meant to add, why is “Disruptor” always posed as a positive thing?
Wouldn’t that depend on What is being disrupted?
Freaks are “Disrupting” our society, Eco-nuts are “Disrupting” our supply chains and energy sources.
Musk EV push is “Disrupting” the civilian vehicle market in ways that are NOT going to benefit us.
So I do not see his being disruptive as a positive trait.

Or, “Throw everything out except the kitchen sink.”

He’s off to a good start with the 3 people he fired today.

That's a good one too, and there's a lot of truth to it.

I suppose it depends on which end of the sewer pipe you’re looking down; I had in mind all the dominant “socially accepted” leftist phony rules that so many, especially including establishment Republicans, feel compelled to conform to, without questioning their authority or legitimacy; like you have to be meek and polite and deferential (if you’re not a Democrat), and if it’s in the New York Times it must be true. Your point is well taken, though; the same people are free to kick my values to the curb when it suits them, and they do. As you say, disruption is not necessarily a good thing. But in the case of Twitter’s culture, there is little that would not benefit from disruption, as was the case with the culture of the DC swamp on the whole, and the dominant mass media culture.
Certainly, I don’t subscribe to everything Musk does; as I don’t subscribe to everything Trump does or says. But on the whole, I’d say the effect of both has been a heck of a breath of fresh air.

It’s funny how that works.

When you do unusual things and you have no money, people say you’re crazy.

Golden handcuffs being paid off.

“Golden handcuffs” for what?
For running the company into the ground financially?
Don't make me laugh.

Oh no no no, now the Marxists will be confronted boo hoo hoo. In the past I would ask them to state evidence or facts backing up their claims such as “Trump is a career criminal” and rather than answer me, I would instead get banned. Not just banned from a single person, but from the entire Twitter website!

If Elon fires 75 percent of Twitter's employees what's the chance one or more of them goes postal. Or leaves a dirty bomb on Twitter's servers.
