A 45-year-old immigrant from India and Twitter's top lawyer, vijaya gadde, spearheaded the decision to permanently suspend US President Donald Trump's Twitter accounts.

Yet another top Indian-American executive at Twitter has come under fire from Elon Musk, the billionaire buyer of the social media platform, in what is emerging as a battle between free-speech absolutists and the more traditional establishment advocating boundaries.Barely has the ink on the agreement to purchase Twitter dried, the incoming owner trained his gun on vijaya gadde, the company's head of Legal, Policy and Trust & Safety issues.

"Gadde, who earned $17 million last year as Twitter's top legal counsel, could be on the chopping block as Musk is reportedly planning to slash jobs and reduce executive pay as he looks to secure financing for his Twitter bid," the report said.

A digital lynch mob of mostly right-wing activists is baying for action against former Twitter executive vijaya gadde following disclosure of internal emails that suggested she was instrumental in canning the so-called Hunter Biden laptop expose that showed the President's son in poor light.

Twitter's new boss Elon Musk wasted no time on Thursday firing CEO Parag Agarwal, legal head vijaya gadde, and three other top executives of the company moments after he took charge, tweeting "the bird is freed" to indicate the social media platform would now be more open to unfettered and uninhibited speech.

Donald Trump went to battle using Twitter and won Washington. Donald Trump is now going to war against Twitter after losing Washington. Two Indian-Americans are at the heart of the company that on Friday permanently suspended @realDonaldTrump's account citing the "risk of further incitement to violence," following the terrorist attack on the US Capitol.

Trolling the very company he is now certain to buy, Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Thursday held out an assurance that Twitter will not become "a free-for-all hellscape where anything can be said with no consequences," while asserting he was acquiring not to make money but to promote healthy debate.

vijaya gadde, Twitters top lawyer and head of policy, told workers at an all-hands meeting that there is "no such thing as a deal being on hold," according to people who attended the meeting. Twitter stock jumped about 2% on the news of the meeting, which was first reported by Bloomberg.

Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter has been tough on its employees as a mass resignation of the employees has triggered a hilarious trail of tweets on the micro-blogging site. Just days after the hashtag #RIPTwitter began to trend, Musk shared a tweet that read, ‘Twitter is ALIVE’.

X Corp, formerly Twitter, has been ordered to pay $1.1 million in legal fees to a group of its former top executives. The executives, including ex-CEO Parag Agrawal and former top lawyer vijaya gadde, argued that Twitter violated its duties by refusing to cover their legal expenses tied to investigations of the company.

Elon Musk in recent weeks has been publicly skeptical of Twitter’s user numbers, and the amount that are automated bots, driving uncertainty about whether he will complete the deal. The company has agreed to share its firehose of public tweet data with Musk in an effort to assuage his concerns.

Taibbi says that soon after Twitter banned Trump, they started to prepare to ban future presidents and White House officials. He cited one executive as saying that the “new administration will not be suspended by Twitter unless absolutely necessary.” The first instalment of Twitter Files Part 3 has been shared by independent journalist and author Matt Taibbi.

In a tweet, Musk said that activist groups are pressuring advertisers “even though nothing has changed with content moderation.” Musk also said that Twitter did everything it “could to appease the activists. Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.” Multiple reports suggest that companies have already paused advertising on the social media platform.

Mere hours after Elon Musk kicked off a new era at Twitter Inc, the billionaire owner was deluged with pleas and demands from banned account holders and world leaders. The flood of requests underscore the challenge the CEO of electric car maker Tesla Inc faces, balancing a promise to restore free speech while preventing the platform from descending into a "hellscape," as he had vowed in an open letter to advertisers on Thursday.

"Twitter Files" is a set of records which suggests that Twitter censored stories revolving around Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden that were making rounds on the internet in the final days of the 2020 presidential campaign in the US. The records, which were made public by Taibbi and retweeted by Musk, show emails exchanged between Twitter staff members and the Biden campaign.
