Elon Musk’s lawyers said Thursday that Twitter is refusing the billionaire’s renewed $44 billion bid for the company and have asked a Delaware court to halt an upcoming trial. Musk made a renewed offer to take over the company earlier this week.

Very curious....Perhaps the deep state has decided that Twitter is too valuable of an asset to relinquish prior to the election....Interested to see if Musk abandons the deal...

To allow more time for...

Twitter is rolling out its Birdwatch "collaborative fact-checking" program ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. "Helpful notes" added to tweets by eligible users will be visible to everyone in the US starting today.

Kyle Becker: This is blatant editorializing, a violation of Section 230, potentially libelous, and election tampering.

Insider reported:

Elon Musk is now the owner of Twitter.

Thursday evening, Twitter and Musk formally closed on the billionaire’s offer to take the company private by paying $54.20 per share, equal to about $44 billion, sources close to the deal told Insider. Musk made a U-turn on the offer in October, after spending months trying to pull out of the agreement. The same evening, Musk also ousted CEO Parag Agrawal and CFO Ned Segal the sources said.

Musk has been at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters this week, meeting with workers and holding impromptu discussions with them in the cafe, Insider reported. An all-hands meeting is expected to take place on Friday.

As a result of the new deal, Twitter’s lawsuit against Musk over the $44 billion purchase will come to an end after Twitter files for the case to be dismissed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, University of Michigan business law professor Erik Gordon said.

Recall, Vijaya Gadde, an immigrant from India who hates the First Amendment, was behind the censorship of conservatives and Trump supporters.

Vijaya Gadde was responsible for the censorship and banning policies at Twitter. She is famous for this and apparently took great pride in it.

Vijaya Gadde

In her role she allowed the Ayatollah of Iran to promote hate speech on the platform but she took down the account of the leader of the free world, President Donald Trump.

The Firings Begin: Twitter CEO, CFO, & Top Censor Escorted Out​

BY TYLER DURDEN
THURSDAY, OCT 27, 2022 - 07:53 PM
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).
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.



At least one of the executives who was fired was escorted out of Twitter’s office, they said.

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?

Don’t let the Piss Ants get you down…
Its obscene. Getting money like that for failure. And, they'll be rehired at some other company at an insane salary and benefit level. I saw it as the company I worked for circled the drain after having been bought by Vista Equity. Numbnuts brought in at top dollar to speed the destruction of our company, and in an industry they didn't know or understand.

I guarantee these parasites will be raking it in in 6 months or less.
