Elon Musk slams Twitter's top lawyer who sobbed after he bought social media network and blasts her for 'incredibly inappropriate' censorship of Hunter Biden laptop story

  • Vijaya Gadde, the 48-year-old chief legal officer and general counsel of Twitter, called a virtual meeting with the policy and legal teams she oversees on Monday
  • Gadde wanted to update her team on the implications of Elon Musk's $44 billion takeover of the company, and ended up breaking down in tears, Politico said
  • Gadde 'expressed concerns about how the company could change,' Politico reported, under Musk's leadership, in which free speech is championed
  • Having joined Twitter in 2011, she has been central in crafting the company's positions on banning hate speech versus allowing free debate
  • Gadde was instrumental in the decision to ban Donald Trump from the platform in January 2020 on charges of inciting violence
  • Musk has not commented on reinstating the former president's account and his 89m followers; Trump said on Monday he will not rejoin, but few believe him
  • Conservative commentator Saagar Enjeti called her Twitter's 'top censorship advocate' and noted her key role in banning reports on Hunter Biden's laptop
  • Musk replied: 'Suspending the Twitter account of a major news organization for publishing a truthful story was obviously incredibly inappropriate'

More Conservatives Seeing Huge Jumps In Twitter Followers After Musk Takeover

Joseph Curl

Apr 27, 2022 

Some conservatives are seeing a jump in the number of followers they have on Twitter, even as some liberals bemoan the loss of fans.

“Donald Trump Jr. led the way in questioning the giant spike, which saw him gain 87,296 new followers by Tuesday — and another 119,022 by early Wednesday, after weeks of averaging only a few thousand each day,” the New York Post reported.

“While I’m awesome and totally deserving of 87,000 new followers a day it seems that someone took the shackles off my account,” former President Donald Trump’s son wrote Tuesday. “Wonder if they’re burning the evidence before new mgmt comes in?” he asked.

Meanwhile, Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis — a frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024 — saw his followers jump by more than 200,000 over the past few days, the Post reported. Fox News host Tucker Carlson picked up nearly 150,000 as Rep. Matt Gaetz soared by more than 60,000 followers, prompting him to say, “It really is something how conservative accounts are getting massive follower increases today….”

Conservative talk show host Dana Loesch offered a theory. “It’s too soon for Musk to have done this but I’m wondering if something was changed by those seeking to minimize their fingerprint ahead of potential transparency,” she wrote on Twitter.
