Also played role in banning Zero Hedge for reporting on lab leak origin of COVID.
The Twitter lawyer who broke down crying during a meeting about the ramifications of Elon Musk’s takeover of the social media company was previously instrumental in banning President Trump as well as censoring information about the COVID lab leak theory.
Yesterday, it was revealed that Twitter’s top lawyer, Vijaya Gadde, was reduced to tears during a virtual meeting with the company’s policy and legal teams following Musk’s successful purchase of the platform.
According to Politico, “Gadde cried during the meeting as she expressed concerns about how the company could change,” and “acknowledged that there are significant uncertainties about what the company will look like under Musk’s leadership.”
Gadde was presumably upset by the fact that her power to censor individuals and content may now be restricted under Musk’s leadership.
As head of Trust and Safety, Gadde was hugely influential in defining the company’s view of “hate speech” and was also instrumental in crafting the “healthy conversations” narrative that Twitter has used an excuse to censor blatantly factual information, such as the assertion that ‘trans women’ are not biological men.

She also spearheaded the banning of President Trump after the January 6 riot, despite the fact that Trump had no role whatsoever in inciting the riot. Twitter claimed they banned Trump in order to stop “further incitement of violence,” despite Trump literally telling his supporters via Twitter, “Go home with love & in peace.”
According to Politico, Gadde’s role in banning Trump “earned her devoted fans within Twitter.” She also would have undoubtedly been a crucial figure in Twitter’s decision to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story and the New York Post, despite the story being completely verified.
The Indian immigrant was also reportedly involved in the decision to temporarily ban Zero Hedge from Twitter for its reporting on the lab leak origin theory of COVID-19, despite this subsequently becoming a widely plausible explanation for the origin of the virus.
“Gadde is crying because her new boss is a ‘free speech absolutist,’ while she wants to silence divergent opinions from her own,” reported the popular news outlet.
“Gadde is likely the exec who signed off on ZeroHedge’s February 2020 ban for speculating that Covid-19 may have emerged from a Wuhan Lab, and President Trump’s January 2021 ban in connection with the capitol riot.”
“Your words hurt my feelings and makes me cry.” she said.
The dry rot culture not happy with the deal.
There is also a disparagement clause. Musk is walking a fine line right now. Some people think he has broken the clause..others say not yet.
It is quite possible that Musk wont really want Twitter and will find a way out....but in the mean time expose them for what they are
The company is not worth 44 billion. He might achieve his goal without buying it.
The Twitter deal will take about six months to complete, so she’ll still be crying on the job for awhile at least.
A lot of lefties have this “Any power I grab is mine forever” attitude, which accounts for a lot of the long faces that wonderful night in November 2016. The smart ones pull the ripcord before the ground comes.
. . . to censor blatantly factual information, such as a November 2020 election rife with vote fraud and a January 6 event agitated by Feds under the auspices of Democrats in Congress.
I think it is Sarah Gonzales.
that name seems right
Her reaction proves the decisions she made to censor were motivated by emotional and not reason. The fallacy of the left is its all-in comitment to sentiment over intelligence.
“The company is not worth 44 billion. He might achieve his goal without buying it.”
wouldn’t that be perfect?
Parag and Vijaya. One little, two little Indians.
Hope Musk makes an exception for her and fires her soon and make sure to get her company computer and files if still around.
I noticed that too. Ship them ALL home. Most likely H1b visa anyway.
The Indians have taken over the tech recruiting system in the USA.
Yeah, that could be one of the factors. Also for some, the attitude that those of a supposedly higher class can make rules for the lower classes, or that those with power can impose tyranny on those that do not if it is for whatever "good" cause due to historical or traditional reasons.
I would not be too surprised if she was pushing the liberal agenda in extreme ways because that was how she could move ahead in the company with her liberal masters. Once she got a fan base for her actions, that could have encouraged her to press on.
Ever notice how so many of the big tech names are foreign or foreign sounding. While they may be citizens it seems that many do not believe in the freedoms inshrined in the Constitution and have an attitude mor akin to the nationality of their name.
He was executed under his own law! How perfect.
The executioner had to remove the bandage from his shattered jaw (failed suicide attempt) because it was round around his neck, and Robespierre screamed all the way through the guillotine. Schadenfreude!
Sssh! your giving up his secret.
