Tesla CEO Elon Musk officially purchased Twitter yesterday and almost immediately fired some top executives.
From the NY Times:
The Twitter executives who were fired on Thursday include Parag Agrawal, the chief executive; Ned Segal, the chief financial officer; Vijaya Gadde, the top legal and policy executive; and Sean Edgett, the general counsel, said two people with knowledge of the matter. At least one of the executives who was fired was escorted out of Twitter’s office, they said.
Former CNN “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter has noted that most news outlets are not only headlining the story, but seem very alarmed by Musk’s Twitter takeover:
Virtually every major news homepage is leading with the same story:
Reuters: "Elon Musk's Twitter ownership begins with firings, uncertainty"
NBC: "Musk now leading Twitter, ushering in likely changes to online speech"
LA Times: "Twitter employees brace for massive layoffs" pic.twitter.com/bbqkyRds26

Musk has vowed to make Twitter a true free speech platform, and naturally that has alarmed those on the Left who have embraced censorship all while ironically calling their political opposition “fascists.”

And it’s glorious. They can build solar panels or learn to code. Right?

Remember when not all firings were bad?
Fascists tend to get upset when they can’t control the narrative.
Too bad you can’t talk about this on television. https://t.co/NeNhY6U263
