As the bell tolls for the end of the first chapter of Twitter’s life as a deep state narrative-enabling machine, the firings have begun with Musk becoming ‘Chief Twit’.
Just minutes after the world’s richest man has reportedly closed the $44 billion deal, The NYTimes reports that, according to sources that declined to be identified, the Twitter executives who were fired include:
- Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s chief executive,
- Ned Segal, the chief financial officer,
- Sean Edgett, the general counsel, and
- Vijaya Gadde, the top legal and policy executive, (or censorship czar).
We suspect she was first on the list given this tweet from Musk earlier in the year…

As a reminder, having been with Twitter since 2011, Gadde was the key executive in charge of ‘trust and safety, legal and public policy functions‘ – described by Politico as the company’s “moral authority.”
Gadde holds one of the most controversial positions at Twitter: Her teams decide how to moderate content. That’s made her a target of right-wing criticism, particularly when Twitter blocked the distribution of a New York Post article about President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in 2020. She faced a renewed wave of criticism after multiple reports confirmed she was behind the decision to ban Trump from Twitter. -Politico
In other words, 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.
And we are not surprised at the others…
In all seriousness, imagine being such an arrogant, incompetent, entitled litttle wokester that your pissy texts provoked the richest man on earth to buy your employer just so he could fire you in his first act as owner. pic.twitter.com/NjpCOB9gbM

At least one of the executives who was fired was escorted out of Twitter’s office, NYTimes reports.
Please do not feel too bad for these poor, dejected executives, as Insider reports, through “change in control” provisions in employment contracts for top leadership, they will receive a certain amount of severance and an automatic acceleration of their shares, so long as Musk fires them.
The provisions are disclosed in regulatory filings.
- Agrawal is set to receive the largest payout of $38.7 million, due largely to the entirety of his shares vesting upon his firing.
- Segal is set to receive a $25.4 million payout for getting fired.
- Gadde will leave with $12.5 million.
As we detailed earlier, over 1,100 employees have left Twitter since Musk announced his intention to buy the company back in January, with almost a third going to Google or Meta.
The figures come from a new analysis of LinkedIn data, with the report noting that other workers have moved to the likes of Pinterest, LinkedIn, Snap, and TikTok.
We suspect, as Elon warned, it’s sinking now for some…
Will we see this tomorrow?

Look, we take what we can get. If he’s getting rid of the panjeets and Khazarians and letting their opponents back on be glad of it. It might not last for long.
I don’t get it.
Are you saying before Musk bought twatter, it hadn’t been an intelligence asset?
Will Musk ban shitting in the hallways and order toilet paper for all corporate office bathrooms, now?
Rob was an asshole back in the ’70s … never learned a new trick …
Exactly.
Anyone old enough to remember watching “All in the Family” can recall Reiner’s character dialogue was purposely written into the show to showcase the right-left controversy of the ’70’s.
A bit off topic but it suddenly struck me the real reason Facebook is failing may be that it’s being used, and really effective, for local news and sales and they can’t stop it.
I mentioned it was the only place I could find up to date info on a forest fire 5 miles from us. Also there are many local pages/groups that hook up people for trades and selling crafts and used stuff but more importantly agricultural stuff.
You’re not supposed to sell animals but if you put up a post saying you have 2 goat kids on one of these people can get hold of you.
I’ve started using it for this and it really works. I traded and sold our produce this year for burger, eggs, lavender. I Just got an email from a neighbor (we’re relatively new and rural) about some good info.
Somebody started a gleaning page. When we first got here we suddenly had tons of apples we didn’t know what to with and we piled them for the bears (who we DONT want to attract).
Most people don’t want these things to go to waste and young families come out in droves to pick. Then, you develop a relationship.
It’s the black market they don’t want. O the irony. Also helps you meet and connect with local people. Think about it.
So very true. My wife does this for free program on FB. You get stuff and give stuff away. She now buys almost nothing, and she’ll bring people some apples, kale, etc.. She picks up and gives away stuff almost everyday. So even though FB sucks. It has some very good sides.
Some of the leavers can doubtless code already, others might have to learn.
Woman wanted for unusual position.
These three assholes are walking away with 50 mil, 37mil, and 17mil in payouts. They may be unemployed but they are laughing all the way to the bank.
And to make it worse. It’s our taxpayer bucks they’re paid with.
You can now buy branches of the CIA, who knew? How do you make money from a company that has an unlimited budget from the CIA. Either Musk has some devious plan or he is a dumb shit. Only time will tell.
We had some fun today picking out Halloween costumes from our four large bins of old clothes, hats, silly accessories and hand me down kids’ Halloween costumes.
After our daughter wanted to be Hermione yesterday, today she announced proudly that she will be “Alexander von Humboldt”. I don’t even know how she learned who that was. She will wear a kind of pirate costume, but she called it an explorer outfit.
Our older son is Nicola Tesla, after I could not convince him of portraying Antoine Bechamp.
I found a blue long haired wig for myself and am calling my outfit: “librarian, she/her”
Unfortunately, I don’t think anybody will recognize any one of us unless they ask who we are.
The face that launched a thousand memes
Did you hear it? Just before the 1:40 mark, “I gotta touch base with my husband and wife.”
Also six years employed as an engineer and he doesn’t know how he’ll make the payments on his car (a Tesla).
Buh-bye Templeton.
When will people(or anyone) realize there are no sides for these lost souls. It’s all pkauedftpm the middle, and whoever pays the most moves ahead. And don’t get the wrong idea that “you” or “we” are ever allowed to play. No no no, that’s not in the game, ever! So your best bet is to stop looking at these losers. And get a real life. Watch The Chosen! And learn what life is really about! God bless!
