Elon Musk Puts Twitter’s $17M-Per-Year ‘Censorship Chief’ on Notice
Slay ^ | May 2,2022 | Frank Bergman

Tech mogul Elon Musk has hinted that he is planning to fire Twitter’s “censorship chief,” who earns $17 million per year at the company.

Twitter’s top lawyer Vijaya Gadde is seen as the leading advocate for censoring conservatives at the social media giant.

Gadde, who earned $17M last year as Twitter’s top legal counsel, has been put on notice that she is among the highly paid executives who stand to lose their job once Musk completes his takeover of the company.

Musk is reportedly planning to slash jobs and reduce executive pay as part of his plan to shake up Twitter.

After disclosing plans to acquire the company earlier this month, Musk expressed “no confidence” in Twitter’s current management — which doesn’t bode well for their future once he takes the helm later this year.

Exactly. Which is one reason, before he gets my vote in 2024(assuming he runs)he provides a list of his most important cabinet members, in advance, along with a promise to clean house top to bottom. That goes for any other candidate for that matter. If not...what's the point?

Of course, if they don't clean up the corrupted election system...again...what's the point?

Perhaps, but a wealthy one.
As is my frat bro who got in early on the broadcast.com deal that sold for almost 6 bil back when a billion dollars was a lot of money.

” I don’t think he’s all that political. Like Musk, more of a libertarian.”

Mark Cuban sat behind Hitlery Clinton during one of her appearances when she was running for president.

Mr. Musk,

My respect for you continues to swell!

Crying shame he wasn’t born here; I’d want him on a presidential ticket sometime!

In a lot of cases, the '60s and '70s activists are the "Wokesters." Posted this awhile back, it might be appropriate here:

Government is always generational, and we are living in The Revenge of the Seventies, ruled by young "activists" now grown old, in positions of power, and living in their "second childhood" of trying to destroy the country that gave them riches and influence. These are denizens of the drug-fueled decade of Paul Ehrlich's Population Bomb, Alvin Toffler's Future Shock, Helen Caldicott's Nuclear Madness, the Club of Rome's Limits to Growth, Alex Comfort's Joy of Sex, and their 2022 "agenda" is pretty much out of a week of 1972 All in the Family reruns. Here's a roster of some of these "young activists" and their ages fifty years ago: John Kerry, 28; Nancy Pelosi, 31; Dick Durbin, 27; Hillary Clinton, 24; Joe Biden, 29; Anthony Fauci, 31; Chris Wallace, 24; Wolf Blitzer, 24; Bill Clinton, 25.

Their present enablers weren't much older than them back then: George Soros, 41; Klaus Schwab, 33.

These people may look old and gray, but their Vietnam-era "agenda" has never changed. They know that America is evil, because all their friends agreed on that. They know that all cops are bad because cops used to bust them for pot, they know that Che was good because everyone had his poster, they know that Republicans are bad because Richard Nixon beat the crap out of George McGovern. They know there is "global warming" even though they've never felt it, they know that corporations are bad because, well, they're corporations; they know that keeping a proper habitat for a snail is more important than the survival of an American family.

There is so much more that they know . Mountains of outdated, antiquated BS. These are 70-year-olds who carry the '70s always within them. They are avocado paneling in the 21st century, and they will not rest until they prove to their long-dead parents who called them crazy that they were right all along.

As Ronald Reagan famously said, "The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

If the media wasn't similarly infested, and eager to give them a soapbox for their half-century-old blather, they wouldn't stand a chance. It's 2022 for godsake. It's time for them to go.

Yup.

Its a huge deal. Not only for overvaluing to shareholders, but to those who purchase ads.

Maybe he’s hoping she’ll leave on her own volition to avoid a severance.

Nah, that only works with peons. She probably has a juicy severance clause in her contract regardless of why she is leaving.
