Leaked Audio From Twitter Execs Reveals Scramble To Cope With Musk Takeover

Via ZeroHedge

Leaked audio from a Monday Twitter staff meeting reveal how executives are trying to get a handle on Elon Musk’s purchase of the platform – particularly, how they will reconcile Musk’s ‘free speech absolutism’ (which ‘matches the law‘), and existing content moderation policies which they use to silence conservatives in the name of ‘public health.’

In a 45 minute recording of a company-wide call obtained by Project Veritas, board member Bret Taylor, CEO Parag Agrawal, and Chief Marketing Officer and Head of People Leslie Berland discuss the direction of the company.

“Elon made it clear in public that a large part of the reason he bought the platform was because of our moderation policies and disagreements in how we deal with health,” said Berland in the leaked recording. “This puts Twitter service and Trust and Safety as well as anybody who cares about health on the platform in a very difficult position.

More via The Post Millennial:
Taylor began by saying, “I also just want to acknowledge all the emotions of today. It is an emotional day. I want to acknowledge it. By law, we are required to act in the best interest of our shareholders.
Agrawal echoed the sentiments and said, “It’s important to acknowledge that all of you have many different feelings about what is happening.”
He continued, “Many of you are concerned, some of you excited, many people here are waiting to understand how this goes and have an open mind.”
Agrawal added that the company’s current “content moderation” policies are “fundamental to keeping Twitter safe and growing.”
We’ll be finding a way to have Elon talk with all of you at the soonest possible opportunity…As you’ve heard from all of us, we don’t have all the answers.Agrawal was also heard saying, “I believe Twitter grows as a service, allows for more people to use the product and have a better experience because we’re able to make the conversation on Twitter be safe because we have built tools, processes for people to be able to feel safe and control their experiences. I believe that there is a lot of work we have to do to continue making that better. Sometimes that means more thoughtful moderation. Sometimes that means making things simpler. Sometimes that means changing product incentives to be able to solve problems through products sometimes instead of policies.”

Listen to the entire meeting below:

On Tuesday, Politico reported that Twitter’s top lawyer, Vijaya Gadde, broke down in tears during a virtual meeting with the company’s policy and legal teams while discussing the ramifications of Elon Musk’s purchase of the social media platform.

“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.”

In short, they’re panicking.

Bunch of sniveling pussies. Plain and simple.

While I wholly believe that nothing will change overall at Twitter, it is good to see them writhing in their self-induced agony.

The funniest thing is the lying press shrieking about all the awful things Elon might do with twitter.

Like shadow bans, promoting content you like while hiding stuff you don’t, deplatforming opposition, and so on. They know exactly what the potential abuses are, because the people that were running twitter were doing all of them.

I wake up every morning in disbelief that I am actually living through Revenge of the Nerds. But then I remember they are all vaccinated and boosted and therefore are not long among us so there is hope for the tomorrow that should arrive within 3 years. But then I realize those powers that be who remain want to enslave all of us surviving vaccine refuseniks using the technology that the imported H-1B hordes developed. But then I remember that because of corporate ESG mandates the power grid will become increasingly unreliable and therefore these renewable power systems will increasingly fail as all the systems engineers and maintenance programmers die off and these failures will negate the effectiveness of the electronic control measures. But then as the electronic control systems fail TPTB will revert to old fashioned brute force and will marshal those tens of thousands of fighting age MS-13 types now in our country to “maintain order” using citizenship as a carrot but only after they undergo a full a vaccination and boosting regime and are turned into Blade Runner like replicants – i.e., 4 year remaining life span. But then I realize we only have a 2 to 3 year fight on our hands as these vaccinated brown invaders begin to die off too. So, given 5 to 6 years, we should be face to face with TPTB who have neither electronic control measures nor an imported Praetorian Guard. So, as they are done laughing at us and ignoring us, we will finally get to the point where we get to fight them and we win.

The future’s so bright I gotta wear shades.

These whining libs should take advantage of the realignment of Twitter to the Constitution. A good start would be to study the Constitution. Another option would be to take a government job so they don’t have to abide by the Constitution. Or even better, run for Congress so they don’t have to obey any laws.

The real possibility that twitter account holders will no longer be blocked when criticizing the leftist agenda promoted by twitter employees and their personal opinions . The light of truth and possibly losing narrative control has these sniveling cockroaches scattering for a safe place .
Look for another leftist start up failure as these leftist tech nerds jump ship like the CNN FAIL

I’ve approached our local school district and have offered to teach a class on Modern Media. After all, I have a degree in Secondary Education, my FBI background check is up to date, I’ve provided media services to at least half of the Fortune 500, I have 14 film credits over on IMDB, done plenty of albums, I know hundreds of professionals in the industry, and everyone uses my line of products to make media.

Crickets.

My thinking is that the very last thing they want is a straight white male showing everyone the brick wall at the back of the theatre. Positions like that are probably handed out to their diversity hires.

Media is so much deeper than you might think. People are just meat antennas and can easily be manipulated by frequency. For example, you produce melatonin to get you ready for bed when the frequency of the light in the sky shifts from blue to red. Your brain responds to frequencies as if it were a keyboard waiting for someone to tap on it. If you know which buttons (frequencies) to push then you can play a person like a fiddle.

Your brain automatically fills in missing or scrambled information.

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Your brain takes in an awful lot of information but only the top 7 or so things make it into the conscious moment. You might be focused on driving down the highway but what is written on those billboard signs makes its way into your brain whether you like it or not. As a matter of fact, not reading the billboard sign is more beneficial to the seller because the message goes right to your subconscious and may bubble up as something you perceive as an original thought.

That said, I would love to teach young people on how to deconstruct media.
I’m gonna keep trying with the local schools but I’m not holding my breath.

They pass laws in Florida to ban teaching of certain things and yet the teaching continues….why?…because they still employ all the same teachers. Does any CEO know EVERYTHING that is going on in his/her company? NO. You have a great company because you do everything you can to hire great people and incentivize the kinds of actions you desire. The POSs that work for Twitter no longer need an incentive to do horrible things, ban people, block followers, etc. Shutting down the truth has always been their incentive and screwing over Twitter to hurt Musk and the truth tellers will now be their motivation. Unless there is a serious housecleaning, nothing will really change. Unless something is done very quickly, the evidence of their crimes on behalf of Biden, the 2020 election theft, Soros, Gates, TPTB, etc. will be destroyed. Not sure Musk has the resources to step in and set the ship on the right course quickly enough to matter.

Elon needs to fire Agrawal immediately. He needs to fire every “C”-level dipshit. These people will never stop sabotaging Musk. That’s just to start. He needs to root out every hard-core libfuk … grind them up into Tesla parts.

If he doesn’t do this, then you know he’s not serious about restoring free speech at twitter.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me” was something the Boomers and Gen Xers grew up with. Now, its “hurt my feelings and I’ll break your bones, your future, your job prospects, your family, etc.” Be careful when ANYONE uses seriously subjective words like “safe.”

Just another trolling scheme designed to distract and divide the plebes while deceiving them into believing the elite are not 100% unified in their commitment to the NWO – which is something many of the red-pilled still want to believe.

Of course, the blue-pilled are being trolled too, hence their terror that the elite might not be 100% unified in their commitment to the NWO.

See how that works?

As always, buyer beware, and keep your eyes on the spiked proteins.

““This puts Twitter service and Trust and Safety as well as anybody who cares about health on the platform in a very difficult position.””

So … is twaddle trying to pass itself off as being medical authorities?

““I believe Twitter grows as a service, allows for more people to use the product and have a better experience because we’re able to make the conversation on Twitter be safe because we have built tools, processes for people to be able to feel safe and control their experiences.”

What whiners … what snowflakes … fire them all … 

If you want safe conversation — talk with your mother or your father or your clergy person … leave the rest of US alone … we’re not like you — and we don’t want to downgrade and deliberately debilitate ourselves to be like you …

ZeroHedge is a so-called freee-speech website.
Unless you are uncomfortable with fudgepackers, or any other un-American organization, like BLM.
Just try to use the.proper.discription for BLM members on ZH and you will also be banned.
I’d be pleased if TBP stopped posting their articles for a while…to send a message…

The good news is that the best teacher of reality is hardship, and we have a buttload of that coming our way thanks to FJB. He is actually going to do the country a great service by putting us in the worst economic depression since 1929. Going broke is going to open the eyes of those who were formally woke.
