Elon Musk formally closed on his deal to acquire Twitter earlier today and immediately fired several top executives including CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and Twitter’s top lawyer Vijaya Gadde, head of Twitter’s content moderation and censorship policies. Musk will take over as CEO in the interim.
Petty satisfying news in and of itself. But even better, Bloomberg reports that Musk will be reversing lifetime bans on Twitter users.

Elon is quite the enigma. He could in this instance, wittingly or not, be a useful idiot for the (veiled) global oligarchy, enabling it to save face while pulling back a bit on the censorship, lest a critical mass overcome its incredulity of the democide underway and public outrage boils over.
