Elon Musk fires every Twitter exec involved in banning Trump, hiding Biden laptop story(More good news)

African-American tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has officially completed his Twitter Inc, and his first act of owner of the Big Tech social media platform was to fire CEO Parag Agrawal and CFO Ned Sagal.

Agrawal previously served as the site’s Chief Technical Officer, and was described as “obsessively” focusing on using the platform’s resources to censor “hate speech and “misinformation.”

Outlook India reported that “After taking over as CTO, Agrawal’s main focus was on using AI and ML to identify hate speech and bots that were used to spread misinformation through the microblogging site.”

Perhaps most notably, Musk also fired the site’s head of “trust and safety,” Vijaya Gadde, who made the decision to deplatform 45th president of the United States Donald Trump.

Gadde also participated in the censorship of a New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop just days before the 2020 presidential election, a move that many critics say was calculated to help Democrat candidate Joe Biden.

Gadde appeared on an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast in 2019 to defend the banning of radio and TV host Alex Jones, and defended the left-wing political bias of the site’s “safety” policies.

Joke post?
Nothing in your post is true.
Every Trump tweet was “viewed by fifty plus million”?
On what planet was that?

Trump’s truths are viewed by ten thousand or so.

Not sure where you are getting that information. I just checked (and updated my tagline) and Trump is up to 4,376,588 followers on Truth Social.

Granted this is nowhere close to the number of followers he had on Twitter but this is a brand new platform that is not even a year old.

I don't see why Trump can't have the best of both worlds. He should "mirror" his Truth posts to his Twitter account once it is re-activated so that he is reaching more people (and gives him a chance to plug Truth Social as well). Many people still don't realize Truth Social even exists because the mainstream media never talks about it and when they do, it's usually to marginalize it.

Trump does not need to limit his online presence to one platform only. Why not be on as many as possible?

“Gadde made the decision to do this...”, “Gadde made the decision to do that..”. Gadde is a ***t. But where was Jack Dorsey in all this ? Was he an innocent bystander ?

Look at his last truths, likes, re truths, comments = 10,000.
Followers = you, me and the choir.
Twitter, every nasty tweet had 50+million immediate views with liberal America losing their minds.
If memory serves 70 million followers on Twitter.
It’s very simple math. Truth Social has been a bust when it, for the most part, had a monopoly on the truth. If free speech is allowed on Twitter, the competition in the truth business finishes off Trump’s endeavor. Is it possible to get a Nunes write in campaign going?

Did Dorsey and Musk have a secret deal years ago to do this eventually? Might as well start a new conspiracy theory. 😂👍

SmokingJoe, put down the dang bong and think before you write such silliness. That planet happens to be earth. You know, we residents of that planet have been making a real big deal over those insignificant tweets for seven years now. You do know Trump built a campaign and got elected in 2016 with those extra planetary tweets. When Trump got robbed in ‘20, one of the reasons was the banning of those few retweets. Man, what are you smoking? How many of your planets do you regularly visit? Read up on what is actually happening on this planet before you chime in.

I do know that Twitter accounts like Occupy Democrats and the like have said that they want all Twitter users to migrate over to another Twitter-like site called Tribel if Musk took over Twitter.

Occupy Democrats is a strongly anti-Trump, anti-conservative account that routinely excoriates and denigrates anything to do with Trump, his followers, or anything good or right in the world.

Geez, I didn’t even get read status

I asked for an explanation and got some snotty message about being a “ dangerous spreader of misinformation”

Thing is I never posted much or often but I did save a lot of posts about the election results and about covid treatments so..

I even “ followed” some leftwing buttwipes like Hillary and Lizzie Warren to try to look open-minded…lol

Let's try again, shall we?

From your ridiculous post # 3:

Big Tech has held Trump in virtual incommunicado since banning him.

Nope.
President Trump is heard by as many people as ever.
You need to watch his massive rallies and the reposted videos of his rallies everywhere.
And everything he posts on Truth is repeated on plenty of conservative sties, podcasts etc.

Truth Social has not worked.

Trump Social has grown faster than Twitter did when it was first founded. And over 70% of Twitter users are based abroad. Truth is only available in the US and the UK so far.

Trump's truths are viewed by ten thousand or so. On Twitter, every nasty tweet was immediately viewed by fifty plus million.

NOPE.
Nobody's Tweet is regularly viewed by a massive 50 million people on average. Not even close.

Although the Trump family will suffer another financial bloodbath if Trump returns to Twitter, he must do it.

Most of President Trump's assets/wealth are in real estate, magnificent golf courses, etc etc.
Truth Social is a tiny percentage of President Trump's assets.

You wanna try again, Mister Dem Troll?
