It is not a Tweet, rather a blog feedback post. It sounds genuine to me, and there is a follow up from Brendan, below.
Brendan is engaging a little more on Twitter now, but has not addressed this issue. The official Mozilla statement on the matter, Michell's blog post, is ambiguous and the FAQ comes across as a half-truth to me, so take it all with a grain of salt. Mozilla needs to cough up a clarification soon.

I do still own two modules, one the Module Ownership System, the other mozilla-toplevel. The former has used the mozilla-governance list/group for years to avoid bottlenecking on me, with [email protected] as backstop, and with me as ultimate buck stopper. The latter is observed more in the breach these days. These are not key positions any longer, although I do have them and respond quickly in these roles when needed (very rarely, as noted). Again you write things you don’t know or can’t attest to, which sound like hype: “Brendan is still very much an active part of the Mozilla Project in a key position.” My best advice is to refrain from doing anything like that! /be -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 4/9/14, JoeS <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: Brendan on twitter To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, April 9, 2014, 4:36 PM If this is verified, it is quite damning of the current Mozilla "explanation" of the incident I have no way to personally authenticate the tweet.

No one tried to convince me to stay as CEO. My previous position was not just CTO, it was also SVP Engineering — a position eliminated in a reorg I had just done. What “key position” am I “active” in now, pray tell? Best to stick to what you know to be true. /be _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
