One of Elon Musk's first actions as Twitter's new CEO could be a sign that he is setting up former President Donald Trump for a return as tweeter in chief.
Almost immediately upon closing the $44 billion Twitter deal on Thursday, Musk fired CEO Parag Agrawal, chief financial officer Ned Segal, and Vijaya Gadde, head of legal policy, trust, and safety, according to insiders speaking with the Washington Post. Gadde was reportedly the figure instrumental in getting Trump's account banned.
Musk tweeted on Wednesday in an open letter to advertisers that Twitter should not,"become a free-for-all hellscape where anything can be said with no consequences!"— Elon Musk October 27, 2022 Around the time of Trump's banning, one of Musk's close associates said that the Tesla CEO"vehemently" disagreed with Trump's censoring, calling the move,"insane," according to the Wall Street Journal.
The head of Truth Social, Devin Nunes, refuted a viral post that circulated around Twitter on Thursday in which purported to be from Trump congratulating Musk on the acquisition and claiming he had been told his account would be back up and running by Monday. Trump was active on Truth Social when Musk formally took the reigns of Twitter, giving some midterm endorsements, but has not commented publicly on the purchase as of press time.
