Elon Musk finalizes deal to buy Twitter, starts firing top execs
Elon Musk became Twitter’s new owner on Thursday, firing top executives he had accused of misleading him and providing little clarity over how he plans to achieve the lofty ambitions he has outlined for the influential social media platform.
So we can say Musk IS now on the board.
Musk terminated Twitter Chief Executive Parag Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal and legal affairs and policy chief Vijaya Gadde, according to people familiar with the matter. He had accused them of misleading him and Twitter investors over the number of fake accounts on the social media platform.
Agrawal and Segal were in Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters when the deal closed and were escorted out, the sources said.
Na na na na, hey hey hey, good BYE!
(Musk) changed his description in his Twitter profile to “Chief Twit.”
And a sense of humour too.
