On Tuesday, Twitter Founder and CEO Jack Dorsey, along with his legal counsel Vijaya Gadde and independent journalist Tim Pool, appeared on the “Joe Rogan Experience” to discuss a number of topics. Oddly enough, the stream reportedly cut off early, leaving many viewers confused. One person in particular claimed there was a very interesting “hot mic” interaction after the show ended involving Pool and Gadde: They had to take it down & prolly editing it. After the show ended the lawyer puppeteer started talking to Tim & the mics were hot and the stream froze. I heard it all She wanted names of people he refused to name and twitter handles saying “what if I promise to not take action?” – Superthrust (@Superthrust) March 6, 2019 We asked the viewer if he had an audio recording of this interaction, but unfortunately he did not. We”ll continue to search for one. So, who is Vijaya Gadde? Fortune”s 40 Under 40 list Gadde”s Twitter bio states the following: “Legal, Policy and Trust & Safety Lead at @Twitter. New mom. Immigrant. Investor with @HashtagAngels. Board member at @mercycorps. Trustee at @nyulaw.” She has over 44,000 followers and is following over 1,000 other accounts.
