The word ‘FIRED’ is trending on Twitter after the new owner of the company Elon Musk immediately sacked several individuals at the company previously responsible for censorship, bans and policing of free speech on the platform.
After officially acquiring Twitter, Musk immediately terminated the company’s top lawyer Vijaya Gadde, head of legal policy, trust, and safety.
Gadde was reportedly directly responsible for censoring the New York Post’s revelations on the Hunter Biden laptop before the 2020 election, and for banning President Trump shortly thereafter.
It was also reported by Politico earlier this year that “Gadde cried during [a] meeting as she expressed concerns about how the company could change,” on hearing that Musk was launching a takeover bid.
Musk has also fired CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and the company’s general counsel Sean Edgett.
The clean sweep move, along with Musk’s reported intention to overturn previous bans, prompted ‘FIRED’ to begin trending, as well as ‘Babylon Bee’, the satire site whose Twitter account was banned for a story about Biden official Rachel Levine being ‘man of the year’.
Musk just tweeted he intends to “dig in more today” to correct things:
Celebratory tweets soon began to appear:

This is one of the very few times I will celebrate someone crying as she loses her job.

Tucker Carlson noted that “Elon Musk officially owns Twitter. He bought it not to make money but to restore free speech to America. If he actually does that, this country will change forever. Immediately after the news came out, the CEO of Twitter, Parag Agrawal, who came to this country and immediately started destroying our freedom, and the CFO, Ned Segal, are both gone.”
Free speech advocates have begun to post things that they have previously been banned for:
Now that free speech has been restored to Twitter thanks to @elonmusk, I’d just like to say that I think @AdamKinzinger is a major pussy.

Elon Musk officially owns Twitter.
To all the liberals upset by this, all I have to say is to simply go build your own Twitter.
And Rachel Levine is a man.

Shitlibs cried harder. While many threatened to take their ball and go home, others vowed to ‘stay and fight’:
Yesterday we highlighted how woke Twitter employees have been running to Google and Facebook for months now, knowing that they’re on the chopping block.
Time is up for those who remained.
Here’s a glimpse of the ridiculousness that Musk has to fix:
