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.

She's a she.

She's the one who went on Joe Rogan with Dorsey. Glad she's gone.

Timing is everything. Meta (aka Facebook) is tanking hard due to the I’ll-advised Metaverse project.

Musk has an opportunity here…. Good luck to him.

I really hope he immediately reinstates every single person who makes all of the liberals heads go all thermonuclear explodey. Maybe drag it out to one per day to make it hurt for longer

They’re leaving a couple of steps ahead of the fraud charges. Expect Musk’s Twitter to start releasing the *real* numbers under their tenure and then the avalanche of civil and criminal fraud suits will begin. It’s just like when newspapers were caught lying to advertisers about their real circulation numbers to get higher prices for advertising.

That will be interesting to see. Meanwhile, Trump is posting at least a dozen times a day on Truth.

I'm taking any bets that in 1 year Trump Social is offline and President Trump is back on Twitter.

It's an amazing thing that Elon is freeing the town square from turning into an echo chamber.

Musk needs to reinstate Trump, Bablyon Bee and other very visible accounts immediately.. will send a good sign, he is serious about making it a freer speech platform.

“eccentric genius”?
Umm, our definitions of that phrase clearly differ.
Musk HIRES genius, that does not make him one.
Many of his past statements support my rating of his intelligence.
I have never had nor desired a Twit account, never will.

If they let TRUMP back in and all the conservatives and fire all the snowflakes, I’ll make up a new account as I exited a couple of years ago.

It’s good - like here - to track links and share comedy. The Donald has most all of it already.

This is wonderfully delicious. I’m waiting with baited breath for the announcement that 75% of Twitter employees have been severed from the company...muhahahahaha!

And, the return of one @RealDonaldTrump !!!!

can’t find the BBC World Service radio piece I heard yesterday, saying Trump will probably be back and Musk will allegedly bring back “free speech” (BBC put it in quotation marks) which means disinformation will be back as well.

27 Oct: BBC: Elon Musk claims he’s buying Twitter to ‘help humanity’
“Entering Twitter HQ - let that sink in!” Mr Musk wrote.

In business parlance, “kitchen sinking” means taking radical action at a company, though it is not clear if this was Mr Musk’s message - he also updated his Twitter bio to read “chief twit”...

Reports he would dramatically reduce headcount have not gone down well with staff.

Talk of allowing Donald Trump and other banned accounts back onto the platform has also frustrated many employees...
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63408384

9min to 11min28sec - BBC’s James Clayton: Twitter/Musk/return of Trump means more disinformation.

AUDIO: 14min: 27 Oct: BBC World Service: The Newsroom
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w172yrx2lcfvv9t

45min to 49min - Chelsea Manning talking to BBC’s Justin Webb; Manning associates Trump with toxic/hate speech etc. then shocks BBC by suggesting repression not much different in US, China, Russia. interview ends abruptly.

AUDIO: 53min: 27 Oct: BBC World Service: Newshour

When you put it in the context of everything else he’s involved in, I think I believe him.

btw whenever Trump being banned from Twitter is mentioned on BBC, they never express shock that such a thing could happen. their silence is their approval.
