埃隆·马斯克接管推特后，首先解雇了公司的几位高管，包括公司的印度裔CEO

Elon Musk thought Parag Agrawal was not the 'fire-breathing dragon' Twitter needed

埃隆·马斯克：推特需要的是一条会喷火的龙，而帕拉格·阿格拉瓦尔不是

NEW DELHI: One of the first things Elon Musk did after taking over Twitter — which has since been renamed X — in October 2022 was to fire several of the firm's top executives, including then-CEO Parag Agrawal.

新德里：埃隆·马斯克在2022年10月接管推特（后来更名为X）后做的第一件事就是解雇了公司的几位高管，包括当时的CEO帕拉格·阿格拉瓦尔。

Parag's removal didn't come as a surprise but now a new book penned by writer Walter Isaacson, who kept tabs on Musk for three years, has revealed that Musk met Parag over dinner in March 2022 -- a few months before the billionaire finalised his acquisition of Twitter -- and felt that the Indian-American executive was not the 'fire-breathing dragon' that the platform needed.

帕拉格的离职并不令人意外，但现在，密切关注马斯克三年的作家沃尔特·艾萨克森在他的新书中透露，马斯克在2022年3月的一次晚宴上遇到了帕拉格——就在这位亿万富翁最终收购Twitter的几个月前——他觉得这位印度裔高管并不是该平台所需要的“喷火龙”。

The book, which is a biography on Musk, will be published on September 12.

这本关于马斯克的传记将于9月12日出版。

Isaacson said that Musk, after meeting Parag, felt he was a "really nice guy" but that isn't what is needed to be a CEO. Musk, as per the excerpt, thought that in order to be a CEO, one doesn't have to be liked by people. "What Twitter needs is a fire-breathing dragon. And Parag is not that," Musk said, according to Isaacson.

艾萨克森说，马斯克在与帕拉格会面后，觉得他是一个“非常好的人”，但这并不是CEO所需要的特质。根据摘录，马斯克认为，他不会把老好人视为一名合格的CEO。根据艾萨克森的描述，马斯克说：“Twitter需要的是一条会喷火的龙。而帕拉格不是。”

Since taking over X, Musk has fired thousands of employees and introduced several changes to the platform that have not been received well.

自从接管X以来，马斯克已经解雇了数千名员工，并对平台进行了一些改变，但并不受欢迎。

Twitter's value has also been reduced by more than 50% since Musk took over. He had bought the platform for $44 billion. However, after five months of the acquisition, the social media site's value stood at $20 billion.

自马斯克接手以来，推特的市值也缩水了50%以上。他以440亿美元收购了这个平台，在被收购5个月后，这家社交媒体网站的价值降到了200亿美元。

After firing Parag in October, Musk acted as Twitter's CEO. In June this year, Musk stepped down from the position and appointed Linda Yaccarino to assume the role.

在去年10月解雇帕拉格之后，马斯克担任了Twitter的首席执行官。今年6月，马斯克辞去了该职位，并任命琳达·亚卡里诺担任该职位。

Maybe Elon doesn't know that fire breathing dragons destroy everything in sight ... in this case Twitter itself. But Parag did get the best deal for Twitter shareholders. It's like putting 5 year old Hyundai i20 on OLX and selling for Rs. 43 lakhs

也许马斯克不知道喷火龙会摧毁眼前的一切，也就是Twitter。但帕拉格的确为Twitter股东争取到了最好的交易。这就像把用了5年的现代i20放在OLX上，卖了430万卢比。

Few all American White CEO's will never appoint Indian as their company CEO. The best example is one prominent software company.

都是美国白人当CEO，永远不会任命印度人担任公司CEO，最好的例子是一家著名的软件公司。

Misk is a serial lier. It is all documented and open. The recent lie is about how he is going to fight Zickerbirger but keeps evading. He has been bragging since 2014 about producing a “fully” self driving car but yet to deliver. He aanounced “hyperloop” that would fly people through space from LA to SFO in 35 minutes, which has not happened. He did this to get the LA-SFO super fast train cancelled. He lied saying he would “take Tesla Private” but never did, which resulted in the SEC charging hi ... Read More

马斯克是个惯于撒谎的人，这是众所周知的。最近的谎言是，和扎克伯格“约架”，但一直在逃避。自2014年以来，他一直在吹嘘要生产一款“完全”自动驾驶的汽车，但迄今尚未实现。他宣布了要造“超级高铁”，可以让人们在35分钟内从洛杉矶飞到旧金山，这还没有实现。他这么做是为了让洛杉矶到旧金山的高速列车被取消。他撒谎说他会“将特斯拉私有化”，但从来没有这样做，导致美国证券交易委员会指控他。

Lets hope that the Twitter/X will self destruct quickly under Media Appointed God's ownership. World does not need social media. Social media's existence is to generate addicts, and destroy thinking minds. Thinking minds survives through ignorance of social media.

希望推特迅速自我毁灭。世界不需要社交媒体。社交媒体的存在是为了让人上瘾，摧毁有思想的人。没有了社交媒体，有思想的人得以幸存

帕拉格是个超级聪明的家伙。他的合同上说，如果他在一年内被解雇，他将得到一大笔钱。他确保了疯狂的马斯克跑不掉，并确保他以480亿美元的价格完成交易。他得到了合同上载明的一切。

Musk is the proponent of free speech he was highly upset when plenty of voices were crackdown on Twitter in the name of violation, that made him against all the Twitter executive including CEO Parag Agarwal and that's also one of the primary reason for his Twitter takeover.

马斯克是言论*由的支持者，当很多人以违反规定的名义镇压推特时，他非常沮丧，这使他反对包括首席执行官帕拉格·阿加瓦尔在内的所有推特高管，这也是他接管推特的主要原因之一。

Elon is racist. The new CEO Linda Yaccarino, who happens to be Jewish like Musk, is far from a fire breathing dragon.

马斯克是种族主义者。新任CEO琳达·亚卡里诺恰好和马斯克一样是犹太人，她绝不是一条会喷火的龙。

你认定他们是犹太人，这显示出你的偏见！你怎么知道她不是一条会喷火的龙？显然你不知道喷火的龙是什么意思。成熟点吧！有很多印度老板非常种族主义，他们根据种姓、语言和宗教来看待其他印度人。
