In this article, I&#8217;ll discuss the emergence of Parag Agrawal, a 20-year veteran and Indian-American software engineer. Also, I&#8217;ll discuss his tweets from 2010 and his interest in decentralized Web3 platforms. Lastly, I&#8217;ll cover Musk&#8217;s Twitter memes about Dorsey. Read on to find out!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parag_Agrawal\"><\/span>Parag Agrawal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Twitter is a massively popular platform, it is slow to change and innovate. Agrawal was named chief technology officer in 2017 and shifted the platform to cloud computing services. This move was part of a wider strategy to combat engineering problems that had stunted Twitter&#8217;s growth. He also championed an internal team that studied Twitter&#8217;s algorithms. Agrawal led a project to create a decentralized social media ecosystem that would allow users to make their own moderation decisions and apply their own algorithm to promote content.<\/p>\n<p>Agrawal has an impressive resume that combines his academic background and industry experience. He holds a PhD in computer science from Stanford University and a bachelor&#8217;s degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-B). He worked at Yahoo, Microsoft and AT&amp;T labs during his internships. As the new CEO of Twitter, Agrawal is expected to focus on increasing the speed at which new technologies are deployed on the platform.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"His_tweets_from_2010\"><\/span>His tweets from 2010<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In 2010, Casey Neistat tweeted an intriguing question. Why does Burger King like his tweets from 2010? The question quickly went viral, with millions of fans. He can be followed on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. You might even be following him on both. But before you tweet back, read the following:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"His_interest_in_decentralized_Web3_platforms\"><\/span>His interest in decentralized Web3 platforms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gavin Wood is one of the founders of Ethereum, a blockchain-based platform. He has also co-founded Parity Technologies, a blockchain infrastructure company. Wood spoke with CNBC on a podcast called Beyond the Valley about his vision for Web3. While the web is still in the early stages, the Web3 concept is becoming more mainstream. It is a peer-to-peer system, where all participants contribute a small slice of the ultimate service.<\/p>\n<p>In theory, the Web3 system would be a decentralized internet, enabling many users to be able to use it freely. However, in reality, Web3 services are not all that egalitarian. Decentralized finance is a key element of Web3, which involves conducting real-world financial transactions on the blockchain without the assistance of a central authority. Some large companies are investing huge sums to create Web3 platforms.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Musks_memes_about_Dorsey\"><\/span>Musk&#8217;s memes about Dorsey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tesla CEO Elon Musk is making a snide dig at Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey by sharing a Joseph Stalin meme with his followers. Musk also shared a photo of former USSR leader Joseph Stalin with his face photo-shopped onto the face of his Twitter CEO. Both Musk and Dorsey have since apologized for their comments and the photos are now widely shared on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk was one of the first to respond to the resignation of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Musk was the first to make fun of Dorsey, calling him a &#8220;stolty dictator&#8221; and comparing him to a former Soviet official, Nikolai Yezhov. Musk has become a prominent critic of Twitter, but it seems like his comments have caused some angst.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rQupUWwzr-0\" height=\"281\" width=\"502\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is the New CEO of Twitter?
