Billionaire Elon Musk officially takesover Twitter, fires top executives

American billionaire, Elon Musk, has become the new owner of Twitter after closing a $44bn takeover deal.

Musk has reportedly fired the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Parag Agrawal, the CFO, Ned Segal, and legal chief, Vijaya Gadde.

Shortly after the takeover, the world’s richest man tweeted: “the bird is freed,” in a reference to Twitter’s corporate logo, just hours before a court-ordered deadline to buy the business expired.

Musk also arrived at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters on Wednesday, carrying a kitchen sink ahead of closing his $44bn deal to purchase the micro-blogging site.

Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!” the Tesla CEO tweeted.

Musk changed his Twitter profile to refer to himself as “Chief Twit” and his location as Twitter headquarters.

Daily Trust report that Bret Taylor who had served as Twitter’s chairman since last November, updated his LinkedIn profile to indicate that he was no longer in the post.

Musk, a self-styled “free speech absolutist” has been critical of Twitter’s management and its moderation policies regarding free speech.
