Esther Crawford… Those who follow the world of technology know this name well. Twitter executive Crawford’s life changed after he was photographed sleeping in the Twitter building. Crawford, who climbed the career ladder quickly, became one of the most remarkable names of Twitter in a short time, while he also managed to become one of the most loyal employees of Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter. But in the past month, many things have changed surprisingly.
LAST MONTH REPORTED TO BE FIRED! HIS TWEET WAS THE AGENDA: “CRUCIALITY IS THE WORST”
Twitter executive Esther Crawford was laid off last month, Insider reports. Crawford tweeted on Tuesday that “cruelty is the worst”.
Cruelty is the worst.

WHO TO SEND? HERE IS THAT CLAIM…
Nowadays, there is talk that this tweet is a reference to Crawford’s former boss Elon Musk.
‘EVERYTHING’ STARTED ON MONDAY
In fact, we should start telling everything from Monday. Elon Musk had an argument on Twitter with Haraldur Thorleifsson, a former Twitter executive, on Monday.
Thorleifsson tweeted that he was not sure about his employment status, stating that he had been denied access to company systems. Following this tweet, Musk accused Thorleifsson of using his disability as an “excuse” to “do no real work”. The Twitter CEO later apologized for his comments and said Thorleifsson was “considering staying on Twitter”, but it still drew attention.
HE SAID “CREATIVITY IS THE WORST”, THE TWEETS HE LIKED WERE OVERLOOKED
Crawford, on the other hand, tweeted after the Musk-Thorleifsson debate, which was also the subject of our news on Tuesday, and said that “cruelty is the worst” without providing any other context. He also liked some tweets about his restaurant opening, in which he said he “doesn’t deserve this abuse”, in addition to a tweet about the incident in which Thorleifsson talked about the effects of his health problem.
Crawford was known for his unwavering loyalty to Musk.
Crawford was allegedly fired from his position as director of product management last month as part of mass layoffs that affected the product team, among others. While both Twitter and Crawford didn’t respond to requests for comment, things became somewhat clear when Crawford updated his Twitter bio to say he’s no longer working for the company.
Moreover, Platformer reported that Crawford was among the executives on the “not to be fired” list.
