After closing a $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter, Elon Must has fired the top Twitter brass boss who banned Trump on Twitter
If you recall Donald Trump was permanently banned on Twitter In January 2021, the company issued a statement after banning Trump. From the statement, they said ''' We have permanently banned President Donald Trump from using the social media platform, citing "the risk of further incitement of violence." But now, just a few months later, Dorsey is out, the top Twitter boss has been fired and Elon Musk is now in charge.
Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, announced on Twitter that he had fired the top twitter brass boss and was taking over the company. He once said "Twitter sucks," Musk wrote. "I'm going to fix it, open and free speech will be honored for the sake of humanity. This development came after closing a $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter
Elon Musk has fired the Twitter executive who banned Donald Trump as speculation mounts that the former president could return to the platform, while we wait to see such happening
The one-term former president of the United States was banned by Twitter’s previous board in the wake of the pro-Trump insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6 2021 and was forced to set up his own social media site, Truth Social, which is only available to those in the United States of America as of now and the release of Worldsocio social media platform
Among the top Twitter brass fires is ''Vijaya Gadde, the head of legal, policy, and trust at the company, as one of the senior executives fired by Mr. Elon Musk on Thursday night as he completed his $44bn.
It has been reported that Ms. Gadde played a central role in Twitter’s decision to ban Mr. Trump with CEO Jack Dorsey vacationing on a private island at the time. In addition to his Twitter ban, Mr. Trump was also barred from using Instagram and Facebook for his repeated election denials and pushing of misinformation.
The deadly riot at the US Capitol has been blamed for the deaths of several police officers and resulted in charges of seditious conspiracy for some of Mr. Trump’s hardline supporters.
Mr. Musk has publicly criticized the Twitter decision to ban Mr. Trump from the platform, as he called the move a “mistake” earlier this year at a financial conference, while not directly saying whether he’d reverse it should he take over the company.
“I do think that it was not correct to ban Donald Trump,” said Mr. Musk in May. “I think that was a mistake because it alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice.” Following his Twitter ban, Mr. Trump has repeatedly said that he would not leave Truth Social to return to Twitter, will he keep to his word, only but time will tell
Though speculation about Mr. Trump’s potential return was rife on Twitter on Thursday night, with a fake statement by the former president widely circulating on the site.
In a May SEC filing from the blank-check company that was planning to take Truth Social public, it was stated that Mr. Trump would have to restrict himself from using other social media platforms. This included Mr. Trump not being obligated to post on Truth Social and not being allowed to make the same post on another social media platform for six hours.
However, it stated that he would be free to post at any time from a personal account on any platform about political messaging, political fundraising, or get-out-the-vote efforts. Joe reporting from Worldfroumlive. you can Create your worldforumlive free account here and join the discussion. Cheers
