Tesla CEO Elon Musk is now in charge of Twitter, CNBC has learned.

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.

Good.

Oh, okay.   Got it!     :-)

I really have no idea.

However, the phase “Everything but the kitchen sink” comes to mind.

“Chief Twit.”

That's seriously funny - seriesly! :-)

  (with a touch of humility as well)

Satan has left the building.

Minions to follow. Not the cute ones from the movie, the nasty Satanic Marxist ones.

I wonder how many files the former employees have destroyed on their way out?

[vespa300]

Sounds like they were from India. Fools.....come to this country to take advantage of what free speech and free markets have built....only to join the socialist LEFT. I see that a lot here in North Texas. Fools from India.

Lib heads splodin everywhere!!!!!

What I will say in support of Musk is that, like Trump, the thought of living by the oligarchy’s rules never enters his head. He is at least a Major Disruptor.

.. my #64 was posted before reading Musk's apologia in #15.

He doubtless has his faults, but it's hard not to have some admiration for the guy, all the billions notwithstanding.

Trump just posted on Truth Social his twitter account is supposed to reinstated by Monday.

[Valpal1]

That gave me the best laugh of the day.

I wonder if Elon will relocate Twitter’s headquarters from the Bay Area to Texas, like he did with Tesla.

[Songcraft]

I can see that one fitting too.   (Maybe the $44 billion bought everything at Twitter but the kitchen sink!)      :-)

(Or maybe Twitter posters -- including President Trump -- will now be allowed to post anything they want, except for the kitchen sink.)

One of my managers had an expression: “They who are not fired with enthusiasm will be pretty soon.”

Among all his kinky slogans I liked that one the most.

They come here with their socialist ideas are ready intact, they do not like americans

[moviefan8]

I wonder if someone at Twitter will ban the Chief Twit.

[BobL]

“I think he was the one who made the call to ban Trump and freeze the NY Post story on Hunter’s laptop.”

Trump maybe. Laptop, DEFINITELY the work of the Deep State calling Twitter.

Regardless the circumstances, how many other billionaires might one expect to see in a Tshirt carrying a sink ?

LMAO !
