Musk poked fun at media outlets, tweeting: “One of the best trolls ever.” Ligma told media persons that it makes him worry about the future of our democracy… the future of celebrity conservatorship”.
“Michelle Obama wouldn’t have happened if Elon Musk owned Twitter. Obama in 2008 wouldn’t have happened without Elon Musk owning Twitter,” he was quoted as saying. “I even own a Tesla, man. I’m a big fan of clean energy, climate change, even free speech,” Ligma told media persons.
Musk fired Agrawal, Segal, the company’s policy chief Vijaya Gadde; Sean Edgett, Twitter’s general counsel; and chief customer officer Sarah Personette. The executives Musk fired were set to receive handsome payouts.
