The tweet did not specify a reason for the departure, but did express gratitude to some colleagues.

“I feel so lucky to have been part of something so special,” the tweet added, followed by the hashtag “#LoveWhereYouWorked.”

The announcement came around the time that news broke that Ella Irwin, the head of Twitter’s trust and safety department, had resigned — all while Twitter restricted the launch of The Daily Wire’s hit documentary “What Is A Woman?” on the platform Thursday evening.

As of press time, there was no confirmation that the departures were related in any way, but users quickly began looking through olds posts from Aiyed that showed a history of making comments that are dismissive of white people.

“There are so many people that don’t have people speaking for them’ ya like black people, trans people, Muslim people WHO +,” Aiyed said in one post in 2017, responding to a tweet that has since been deleted. “wouldn’t even GET the platform you had even if they worked twice as hard, so..rest assured, white men are represented. In ALL their views,” Aiyed added.

“[W]hite ppl eat half a shawerma wrap and be like AH LAAN! SHOE is mak . like wtf does that even mean mark . ur still not invited to the hummus,” Aiyed tweeted that same year. “[W]hite people act like flossing is a personality trait lmfao,” Aiyed tweeted in 2018. “[W]hite guys think buying Elvis memorabilia is a suitable substitute for a personality lmao,” said another post.

A search of the account’s tweets showed many other posts about white people over the years.

A wider review of the account indicates Aiyed has roots in Egypt and has a penchant for tweeting about video games, as well as other topics, often with a snarky tone.

According to a LinkedIn profile, Aiyed has been working as a program manager for Brand Safety Partnerships at Twitter in the San Francisco Bay Area since March 2022, which would precede Elon Musk’s takeover.

Other places of employment in the preceding years include YouTube, Patreon, and Dropbox, per the account.

Twitter owner Elon Musk responded late on Thursday to his platform’s restricting The Daily Wire’s “What Is A Woman?” by calling the hit documentary “sensitive content” and saying that the company’s systems would be updated tomorrow.

When the entire hour-and-a-half documentary was uploaded to Twitter at 8:13 p.m., the film was quickly restricted and received a label that read: “Visibility Limited. This Tweet may violate Twitter’s rules against Hateful Conduct.”

The designation on the film blocked Twitter users from being able to retweet or share the video with their audiences. The video garnered 5,000+ retweets/quote retweets in just a couple of minutes after being published before it was restricted.

“That was fast,” Daily Wire co-CEO Jeremy Boreing responded. “Even after ⁦@elonmusk ⁩said Twitter’s threat to label What Is A Woman ‘hateful conduct’ and to throttle the film’s reach was a mistake, Twitter did that very thing instantly upon the film going live.”

Musk, who earlier in the day said that some people at Twitter made a “mistake” by restricting the film and that it was “definitely allowed,” responded to his company restricting the film just moments after The Daily Wire launched the documentary on the platform.

“We’re updating the system tomorrow so that those who follow @realDailyWire will see this in their feed, but it won’t be recommended to non-followers (nor will any advertising be associated with it),” he wrote.

“Commenting & deliberate sharing will be allowed,” Musk added. “Sensitive content just won’t be pushed to people unless they ask for it or a friend sends it to them.”

Daily Wire podcast host Candace Owens fired back at Musk by calling out his claim that the film was “sensitive content.”

“What specifically is sensitive about a 2 hour documentary that asks people ‘what is a woman’?” Owens asked. “Positively ludicrous to refer to this content as sensitive. People are sensitive. The content itself is not.”

Positively ludicrous to refer to this content as sensitive.

People are sensitive.

The content itself is not.
