ÂElon Musk banned from criticizing Twitter under terms of $44B buyout
By Thomas Barrabi

Elon Muskâs $44 billion Twitter buyout agreement includes a bizarre clause banning him from tweeting criticism about the company â though the billionaire already appears to be testing the ruleâs limits.
An SEC filing published this week detailing the agreement notes Musk â identified in the document as âequity investorâ â âshall be permitted to issue Tweets about the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby so long as such Tweets do not disparage the Company or any of its Representatives.â
Current Twitter employees have expressed concern about Muskâs brash communication style on the platform, which he regularly uses to relay key information about his other firms, such as Tesla and SpaceX, and to poke fun at rivals such as Bill Gatesand Bernie Sanders.
The clause was implemented following contentious negotiations between Twitterâs board of directors and Musk â who has vowed to re-center the platform to protect free speech.
Musk publicly stated his belief that Twitterâs outgoing leadership wasnât equipped to bring the company to his full potential, while the board initially enacted a âpoison pillâ provision to limit his leverage during buyout talks.
While the provision is designed to prevent Musk from being critical of Twitter while the company is in limbo, the tech entrepreneur is still taking aim at some current staffers.
On Tuesday evening, Musk tweeted that top Twitter lawyer Vijaya Gaddeâs decision to ban The Postâs story about Hunter Bidenâs laptop ahead of the 2020 presidential election was âobviously incredibly inappropriate.â
Muskâs jab came in response to a post from podcast host Saagar Enjeti, who shared a Politico article revealing Gadde broke down in tears while discussing the takeover.
Musk also responded to another tweet from right-wing influencer Michael Cernovich, who shared a Washington Post article about Twitter deputy general counsel Jim Baker and claimed he had âfacilitated fraud.â
âSounds pretty bad,â Musk said.
Twitter did not immediately return a request for comment.
The Twitter muzzle clause is one of several noteworthy provisions included in Muskâs agreement with the companyâs board of directors.
The SEC filing revealed that both Musk and Twitter are subject to a $1 billion breakup fee if they fail to follow the agreementâs terms. That fee would only apply under certain conditions, such as if Twitter accepted a different offer from a third party or if Muskâs financing falls through before the deal is complete.
The document also provides clarity on how Twitter will handle employeesâ stock holdings when the company goes private â with workers holding awards that have yet to vest given the option of being paid out in cash.

Russian soldiers have raped girls as young as 10 and pulled out Ukrainiansâ tongues â while also burning swastikas into their victimsâ bodies, Ukrainian officials said Tuesday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the United Nations Security Council that the Russians had committed âthe most terrible war crimesâ since World War Two and accused the invaders of unleashing terror on Ukrainians âjust for their pleasure.â
âThey killed entire families âadults and children â and they tried to burn the bodies,â Zelensky said in a video address on Tuesday. âI am addressing you on behalf of the people who honor the memory of the deceased every single day.â
He described how Russian forces targeted civilians in their cars and on the street, as well as in their own homes.
âSome of them were shot on the streets, others were thrown into wells so they died there in suffering. They were killed in their apartments, their houses. Civilians were crushed by tanks while sitting in their cars in the middle of the road â just for their pleasure,â he said.
He also claimed the militants raped and killed Ukrainian women in front of their families.
âThey cut off limbs, slashed their throats⌠Their tongues were pulled out only because the aggressor did not hear what they wanted to hear from them,â he said.
âThis is no different from other terrorists, such as Daesh,â Zelensky said, using an alternate name for ISIS. âHere it is done by a member of the United Nations Security Council.â
Zelensky ended his address with a graphic video compilation showing bodies of Ukrainian civilians in Irpin and Bucha on the outskirts of Kyiv, in Dymerka outside of Chernihiv, and the port city of Mariupol.
The disturbing footage showed some of the bodies buried in mass graves while others were simply strewn on the street or had apparently fallen from nearby bicycles. Some had obvious wounds, while others were burned or dismembered.
âSpeaking in my national capacity, we are appalled by what we have seen, and reiterate our solidarity with Ukraine,â Barbara Woodward, the UKâs ambassador to the UN and president of the Security Council said in response.
Zelenskyâs address came amid reports of further atrocities uncovered as Russians retreat from the north of Ukraine, including reports Russian soldiers have raped girls as young as 10 and burned swastikas into their victimsâ bodies
âRussian soldiers loot, rape and kill,â insisted Lesia Vasylenko, a Ukrainian member of Parliament who is among those accusing Russia of genocide.
âChildren were found with their hands tied and shot dead. [Russian] soldiers killed them because they could!â tweeted the Kyiv-based politician among reports of hundreds massacred in the capitalâs suburbs.
Vasylenko said that â10-year-old girlsâ have been found with âvaginal and rectal tearsâ after being raped, while dead women have been found âwith swastika shaped burns.â
The official shared an image of one such Nazi symbol scarred into flesh, insisting it was found on the âtortured body of a raped and killed woman.â
âIâm speechless. My mind is paralyzed with anger and fear and hatred,â she said. âRussian Men did this. And Russian mothers raised them. A nation of immoral criminals,â she wrote.
âThe âgoodâ Russians are burning their passports and no longer wish to be called Russian. The rest are Putin accomplices. And guilty of genocide of the Ukrainian nation,â she wrote.
The dead include yet another mayor of a Kyiv suburb, this time in Hostomel â where the body was left out in public and rigged with explosives, the local archpriest told the Times of London.
Archpriest Piotr Pavlenko said he rushed to retrieve the body of Mayor Yriy Pzylyko, his friend, when a turncoat Russian soldier warned him, âDonât touch the body or it will explode and youâll blow up with it.â
Another member of parliament, Oleksandr Yurchenko, also told the UK paper that âwomen were raped, children were shot, peopleâs bodies were run over.â
âWe keep finding bodies,â the MP said, calling it âlike a horror movie.â
In neighboring Bucha, where disturbing images of bodies in the street emerged over the weekend, a local priest told the Telegraph that they had no choice but to use mass graves, where bodies remain in black trash bags.
âWe brought people here from the streets because the dogs were trying to eat the bodies,â Father Andriy Holovin told the outlet.
âThe hospital near here has run out of space. There was no space in the morgue. Now a lot of relatives are searching for their family members, but we couldnât see a lot of the faces due to injuries.â
The UK paper said it saw at least half a dozen civilian vehicles that crashed under heavy gunfire â some soaked in blood and at least one with a large sign reading âchildâ in Ukrainian.
The horrific scenes have led many Western leaders to join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in decrying the atrocities as âgenocide.â
However, Russia continues to deny attacking civilians, claiming that the scenes are staged by Ukraine as propaganda to intensify opposition to the Kremlinâs bloody war.

Putinâs troll farm is hard at work. Massive amount of replies on Twitter and Facebook about those massacres disputing those as fake or all committed instead by the Ukraine army. Â
