Twitter Files: Elon Musk fires another top executive

Elon Musk has fired another top executive from Twitter. This time the axe fell on the microblogging website’s deputy general counsel James Baker on concerns about his involvement in information suppression under the previous regime. With his sacking, Baker joins the list of other high-profile names who have been fired by Twitter’s new CEO.

“In light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue, he was exited from Twitter today,” Musk replied to a tweet by independent author and journalist Matt Taibbi. When asked whether Baker was asked to explain before he got fired, Musk said that Baker’s “explanation was unconvincing.”
