(Patriot Insider) – Just ahead of his $44 billion bid to purchase Twitter, billionaire Elon Musk stated that he had zero confidence in the management team of the social media giant.
According to The Western Journal, in Exhibit B of Musk’s April 13 Schedule 13D filing with the SEC, he said, “If the deal doesn’t work, given that I don’t have confidence in management nor do I believe I can drive the necessary change in the public market, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder.”
“Sources told Bloomberg last week that Musk ‘featured job cuts’ in his pitches to potential lenders for the deal. According to Bloomberg, ‘Musk told bankers that he would be focused on the social-media company’s bottom line and floated the idea of cutting both costs and jobs, according to people familiar with the matter,'” the WJ report stated.
On Friday, Reuters issued a report stating that “three people familiar with the matter” stated that Musk informed bankers that he fully intended to reduce executive salaries as a part of his cost cutting plans.
Musk then left a clue about who might be the first person to be put on the chopping block.
“Twitter’s chief legal officer and general counsel, Vijaya Gadde, serves as the company’s ultimate censor. Gadde, who earned $17 million from the social media platform in 2021, is said to be instrumental in Twitter’s decisions to boot former President Donald Trump from the site and to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story, arguably costing Trump the election,” the report continued.
“The insufferable Gadde was steamrolled over her left-wing bias during a 2019 interview with conservative journalist Tim Pool on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience.’ Musk posted a flowchart based on their discussion,” The Western Journal said.

Pool went on to ask, “So your platform restricts speech?”
“Our platform promotes speech unless people violate our rules,” Gadde responded to the question.
“In a specific direction,” he shot back.
“In any direction,” she answered. “It’s about a pattern and practice of violating our rules.”
Pool put an end to the ridiculousness right on the spot by saying, “You have a pattern and practice of banning only one faction of people.”
Pool then went on to cite information from media outlet Quillette. Out of 22 high-profile bannings that took place in 2015, the publication discovered that “21 of them were only one side of the cultural debate.”
“But I don’t look at the political spectrum of people when I’m looking at their tweets,” she stated in a poor attempt to justify the company’s decisions on who to ban.
Yeah. Right.
“Last Monday, after the announcement that Musk had reached an agreement with Twitter’s board to buy the company, Gadde held a virtual meeting with her team. ‘Three people familiar with the meeting’ told Politico that Gadde became emotional and cried at times during the meeting,” the report stated.
Why become emotional over this? What’s so bad about valuing free speech and the free expression of ideas that can then go to a peaceful war on a battlefield of philosophy? This is where we can logically hash out the truth. That is a good thing. It promotes true progress in society.
If Gadde had truly cared at all about freedom of speech, this would be hailed as good news. Truth be told, she liked being able to censor and silence opinions that were not in favor of the leftist worldview.
Let’s hope she’s sacked as soon as possible.

musk needs to tell that bias crooked Whore Gaddie, she needs to put her head between her legs, and kisds her croked ass good by.
Her earnings are more than shocking! A left-wing ideologue who believes
not just in censorship, but in taking from the poor to feed the rich. How
stunningly ironic.
OK Trump gets banned for saying the election was stolen. Why was Hunter Biden’s
Laptop new killed on Twitter and other leftists outlets? I remember in the 2000 election
how many Leftists said that the election was stolen from Gore. The tried to assert
voter suppression of Blacks in Florida BUT when it came to giving SWORN affidavits
all those that claimed their vote was suppressed said “NO” to signing the affidavits. Al Gore and his crowd were never censured for their false claims.
You’e FIRED ggadde! you zuk! YOU ARE THE BULLIES!
Heard a comment a while back that crime doesn’t pay, it costs too much to get elected, however, I guess that crime does pay if you are this dipstick making 17MM $ per year. Hope she gets a real big reduction in her stealing salary — .like down to zero with NO benefits from that stint; how about 15 to 20 years at GITMO as a cap to this as well.
Get rid of her and all of those who are like her on Twitter. In other words remove those who don’t want free speech and the freedom to voice opinions. Debating is a good thing and it is the way to learn and enrich your mind. If something is offensive to you then you do not have to read it or respond and that is your right. That is called freedom of speech!
I see no way for this person to stay on at Twitter. If Mr. Musk keeps her on, he would be making the same mistake President Trump made when he did not fire pretty much the entire presidential “staff” that was left over from Obama. They did nothing for Trump, only to Trump. The entire place was full of loyal Obamanites who had no intention of helping the new president, just hindering, back stabbing, leaking, making deals behind his back, bad mouthing, well they were snakes. Mr. Musk will have the same outcome if he keeps a lot of these misfits on in the company. Pretty sure he will have to sift them with a fine sieve.
I’m sure Elon Musk won’t make the same mistakes Donald Trump made. We all saw Donald Trump’s mistakes and the ensuing results of trusting the DC insiders for advice. National politics was a new gig for him and unfortunately, he had to trust the snakes that cost him dearly in numerous instances. He would have been better choosing people out of a phone book even though they knew nothing. At least that way, they wouldn’t have bitten him down the road. His ignorance and naivety of personnel was his biggest mistake and thus, came back to bite him in the butt. I guarantee if Donald Trump gets back in office again, he won’t make the same mistake because he now knows who he can trust and who the devils are. Elon knows the players and has done his homework and his sieve will be a very fine one to sift them out.
She didn’t cry because of not being able to censor people, but because she knows her $17m/yr job is on the line and where else will she be able to find that kind of money to bring pain and suffering upon people?
Notice how she says ‘our rules’. This is not inclusivity. It should be ‘the rules’. Gadde and those who think like her should be more inclusive. After all they enshrined words like ‘inclusive’ and put it on the sacred alter of political correctness.
Hey Gaddie! You should just apply at AOL or Facebook. They always want more censors…Maybe you could work at both and make more than you do now…just sayin’
so they pay $17,000,000.00 a year to some SLOT to ban people,…. based on said SLOT having a mental disorder called liberalism ?.
