The CFO and CEO didn’t leave, they were both FIRED

The first African American to own a major social media platform.
A huge milestone for Civil Rights.

The joke was I'm here, I'm boss now and let that sink in. He literally brought the sink in.

"And, no, employees will not be able to take paid time off to grieve the loss off co-workers."

[RetroSpekta]

They have been fired.. not left... FIRED!

[moogle]

They didn’t “depart” - they were FIRED! And rightly so!

[rb]

After firing the other 5000+ examples of dead weight, Elon needs to move the entire operation to Texas.

[fredjr]

Depart is such a nice word for escorted out after being fired.

[podrouzk]

That’s not breaking news. It’s great news!

[JosephStealin]

“Let this sink in”

It’s a joke people 😂

[bigmike]

The CEO and the CFO were fired. MSDNC made it look like they walked out🤣🤣🤣

[Salem-tfxx]

I love you Elon and thanks for yet another great episode of dying from laughter

[TheGuitarded]

He should've brought in Trump to say, "You're fired"

[Grogyster]

Why is this not viral? wasn't the whole Twitter thing a big deal a few months ago?

[av]

Hope Musk is working extra hard to police anyone attempting to normalize far left viewpoints.

[RyanIsShort]

This was the best news I’ve heard in a long time.

[RM-edif]

He can put Twitter on a rocket for all I care.

[LK-bzsk]

Bailed on my Twitter account two years ago and dont miss it. As good a decision to get off Facebook. Two garbage piles I dont need.

[goldsilverandiamonds]

Elon Musk just took over and he's already dramatically improved Twitter.

[LegacyMicro]

Carry a sink into the lobby.... Brilliant! I wonder if there will be violin music playing as the employees exit... Canned soup would be a great departure gift.... Get it? CANNED
