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.

Two things
1. They sowed the wind and rightfully so, reaped the whirlwind.
2. “African-American tech entrepreneur Elon Musk”
Do what now???
Big Tech has held Trump in virtual incommunicado since banning him. Truth Social has not worked. Trump’s truths are viewed by ten thousand or so. On Twitter, every nasty tweet was immediately viewed by fifty plus million. Although the Trump family will suffer another financial bloodbath if Trump returns to Twitter, he must do it.
Elon Musk was born in Africa. He is African-American.
He’s a South African. Just as African American as a certain Kenyan we all know and loathe.
A buddy of mine’s son married an African American. Awesome to see her mark the race box on forms. Cute little blonde from CapeTown. 😎👍
Now I know who banned Trump, me and thousands of Trump followers with no warning, in one night
South Africa actually.
He also holds triple citizenship
South African; Canadian; American
Most people don’t know that.....like whoever wrote this article apparently.
See my post 8
I’m enjoying this. I’d love to see videos of twits carrying boxes of office supplies and leftover latte’s and wine coolers out of the office as they head for the unemployment office.
Cleaning out the C-level suits after a takeover is pretty common. But my God, Twitter needed that bad.
Accountability - it’s so refreshing.
I wonder if our log ins (of all of us who were banned), will work, again.
What I did not anticipate happening was that somebody like Elon Musk would buy Twitter, take it private, and sack all the despicable people that were involved in banning free speech on the platform.
I will wait to see how things play out in the longer term but I like what I see so far and if it continues, I will likely re-activate my account there.
Twitter and Musk must be destroyed and cancelled, to allow questioning, free expression and (horrors!) possible opposition or “woke” narratives is a “threat to our democracy!”
White, and a real one at that.......LOL!
So that’s what happened to my account! I was “permanently” banned with no warning and no reason other than I “broke the rules”.
They put me in a “read only” status, and my feed is nothing but left wing propaganda.
Last night I requested reinstatement, and an explanation for the ban.
They might as well do it now; it’s going to happen eventually.
