Elon Musk has officially taken control of the micro-blogging platform Twitter after finalising a $44B deal ahead of a Friday deadline.
After completing the deal, Musk tweeted, “The bird is freed,” a reference to his desire to have fewer limits on users’ content. He also changed his bio to “Chief Twit.”
In one of his first decisions as an owner of Twitter, Musk fired the top three executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and legal affairs and policy chief Vijaya Gadde.
The Tesla CEO accused Parag Agarwal and Ned Segal of misleading him and Twitter investors regarding the number of fake accounts on the platform.
