Tesla CEO Elon Musk is now in charge of Twitter, CNBC has learned.

Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and finance chief Ned Segal have left the company’s San Francisco headquarters and will not be returning, sources said. Vijaya Gadde, the head of legal policy, trust, and safety was also fired, the Washington Post reported.

Musk had until Friday to complete his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter or face a court battle with the company.

btw whenever Trump being banned from Twitter is mentioned on BBC, they never express shock that such a thing could happen. their silence is their approval.

And no more $30 million bonuses. He has been cut off.

It will take a little while - they’re going to have to execute handovers of credentials and such while ushering the people who have them out the door.

That said, Twitter’s been quietly walking back account bans ever since the first offer and their realization that no, a lot of people are really, really unhappy with them.

Imagine this platform being merged with his worldwide satellite communications system.

Has anyone discovered yet why Musk was carrying the bathroom sink around?   (I don't wish to be graphic here, but one of the main uses for a bathroom sink is to wash your hands thoroughly, after flushing the turds down the toilet, and this story about the CEO & CFO departures seems to fit in with that symbolism.)

It will be an interesting company to watch as it goes through its changes.

Elon is too smart to do too much too fast but getting rid of those really nasty progressives at the top was a great start.

If that's the one I watched...she's a lying POS.

Her excuses for censorship came straight out of her behind.

Is Vijaya a dude?

[DadOfFive]

I am glad he’s not taking the Norm Peterson hatchet man approach on these snowflakes, lol.

So very, very, very sad they were fired.

[thesearethetimes...]

a hopeful bump

[ducttape45]

Same here, but I’m waiting to see if Musk indeed restores Twatter to some sort of respectability.

“Vijaya Gadde, the head of legal policy, trust, and safety was also fired”

Good, do not need any socialist / communist of Indian descent making any decisions with the new company.

[Husker24]

He should have carried a toilet in...lol.

[VAFreedom]

that could have a detrimental affect on the stock price... there are a lot of people holding their bags at ~~44 with many others at a higher price, the price of dwac now is 16.44.

[Spacetrucker]

Excellent idea. Vlad Tepes would be proud of you 👹

[vespa300]

Trump take notice. Fire everyone, Trust no one. Don’t make the same mistake twice.

[Songcraft]

:-)

It’s a pun. “I own Twitter now. Let that sink in.”

So he made them let that sink in.

[VeniVidiVici]

Elon Musk claims he’s buying Twitter to ‘help humanity’ “Entering Twitter HQ - let that sink in!” Mr Musk wrote.
