This is how Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced to the world that he now owns Twitter

Billionaire Elon Musk has completed the $44 billion takeover of Twitter. The New York Times said that Musk, the world’s richest man, closed the deal to buy Twitter on Thursday (October 27). What seems to be his first tweet soon after the closing deal, Musk, 51, tweeted — “The bird is freed.”

Citing people with knowledge of the situation, the report said that Musk “has started cleaning house at Twitter with the firings of at least four top executives”. The names include CEO Parag Agrawal, policy chief Vijaya Gadde, chief financial officer Ned Segal and general counsel Sean Edgett

The deal’s closing removes a cloud of uncertainty that has hung over Twitter’s business, employees and shareholders for much of the year, the CNN commented. After initially agreeing to buy the company in April, Musk spent months attempting to get out of the deal, first citing concerns about the number of bots on the platform and later allegations raised by a company whistleblower.
