One the the guys he fired was the head of Twitter's head of legal, policy, and trust.

He’s already walking it back. I’m sure you’ll be back here criticizing him when he’s banning and censoring because nazis are bad for business.

If you read Musk’s statement , he’s not walking anything back. The media thought that he would be all about allowing “Nazis” only to speak, etc. but in reality, he was never about that. What he wants is the ridiculous banning and censorship to stop. Not banning ISIS while banning much less offensive posters was what got Twitter bought out in the first place. Anyone who doesn’t recognize that ISIS should not be given free reign on a social media platform, while screaming about Trump being a Nazi is just plain stupid.

Good. We don’t need to cancel people as a society. People can just choose not to pay attention to who they don’t like.

Oh for god's sake no one "canceled anyone"

Stop being a parrot for MAGA you sound dumb.

Kanye said something horrific his actions got him dumped it's called PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Maga idiots have none.

And yet ISIS remained.

CNBC’s David Faber reported Thursday evening that Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and CFO Ned Segal have "left" Twitter’s headquarters and "will not be returning as the Musk era begins."

They told the outlet that Agrawal and Segal, as well as Vijaya Gadde, head of legal policy, trust, and safety, were shuttled from the building after being fired.

Already canceling people. What a hypocrite.

Employers can't fire employees now? They still have Twitter accounts, they aren't canceled.

She is a woman, for starters. But she was literally in charge of censorship at Twitter.

If you pay attention to his stated strategies, yes, he is going to attempt to do this as well.

Please try to keep up.

When Google fired James Damore and Kevin Cernekee, we heard endless complaints from conservatives about being canceled. Apparently that rule only protects conservatives.

I expect this will piss off about half of the left. But as a business strategy, being a platform that censors most conservative ideas and a lot of other assorted ideologies is not going to turn a profit. Even among the left, ideological censorship is not completely embraced. Many regular, traditional democrats have no interest in censorship and wont punish twitter for allowing right wing ideas. So overall, Twitter will earn a lot more after this change, and the employees who remain will enjoy the profits.

It doesn’t “censor most conservative ideas,” it censors some of the racist and misogynist cesspool. If your ideas are getting censored, perhaps it’s that conservative thought is a dank hole of stupidity and bad people.

Good thing it never did that then. The top Twitter accounts have long been conservatives like Ben Shapiro. And Twitter was earning a profit. But it's going to lose a lot of users and advertisers if it doesn't control racist and violent content. My bet is the Elon will quickly figure this out and Twitter will be pretty much like it has been, except high profile conservatives won't be held to the same standards as everyone else.
