It feels very unusual for a CEO to comment on the circumstances of an exec's departure like this. It's hard to take away a message that isn't "we're trying to discredit this man" - which is a logical objective, but it feels far more transparent than what I have come to expert.

#13Given Mudge's stellar professional history, and having worked near (not with) him for a short while, I certainly would take his word over the current Twitter leadership.
Yeah given Mudge's status I take his word any time instead of someone from Silicon Valley CEO/VC world.

#14Didn't mudge whistleblow this months ago? Lots of inaccuracies in this memo
Re: Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal on whistleblower story
#15To imply that Mudge was responsible for Twitter's poor security practices when he only worked at the company for the past two years makes me believe that the allegations are true and the leadership is absolute shit.
Also, implying that the dude who worked at DARPA and, maybe even more impressive, who was part of L0pht is incompetent is ludicrous.

#16On the one hand we have a legend with impressive track record that is trying to bring to light serious issues at a large company and he has not much to gain but a lot to lose by making false accusations.
On the other hand we have the Twitter CEO who does not have any comparable track record and has all to gain by trying to deflect and a lot to lose by admiting that the company under him has serious issues. He does have some "interesting" things he said on the record though. Twitter also has a track record of severe security issues.
Twitter IMHO is not as evil as for example Facebook is but I do feel they are pretty stagnant and don't seem to get a lot done. They are only in the news because of some controversies it feels like.
I think Mr. Agrawals days as Twitter CEO are counted. If Musk ends up buying Twitter he'll surely fire him. And if the deal does not go through then I'm sure the board will have to think hard if the performance was good enough.
PS: I think it reflects poorly on him to mention alleged "ineffective leadership and poor performance" on Mudge's part in the email to all employees. Crap like that is probably the reason why Mudge is now hitting back. He is someone that seems to value honor and doesn't take shit from others.

#17Opening with those causes of termination of the whistleblower was a very unconvincing way to start this memo.

#18> who was terminated in January 2022 for ineffective leadership and poor performance.
Gotta love how Parag goes straight to attempting to discredit the person instead of focusing first on the claims.

I thought the Musk / Twitter deal was DOA a long time ago.
