Billionaire Elon Musk has reportedly completed his 44 billion dollar acquisition of Twitter Inc last evening.
The first step he took as the largest shareholder of the company was to fire some of the company’s top executives — namely the CEO Parag Agrawal, Vijaya Gadde, Ned Sehgal and others. He did this on the grounds of his belief that they mislead him regarding the number of spam accounts on the platform.
Shortly after the acquisition was complete, Musk tweeted: ‘The bird is freed’. He went on to say that he didn’t want the platform to spread hate and division. “Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences!”
The billionaire also said he would reverse bans on suspended users, which could include former US President Donald Trump among others.
