Elon Musk finally completed his $44 billion Twitter takeover deal, firing the company’s CEO and financial chief and ending a lengthy tug-of-war with its board of directors just before a key deadline, according to a source close to the situation.
Musk took the struggling social network private late Thursday, ousting Chief Executive Parag Agrawal and Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal, according to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. It wasn’t immediately clear who would replace them.
Musk also fired Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s top legal and policy executive, and Sean Edgett, general counsel, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Give him time. He is starting at the top and working down.
It must be nice to be able to dump the clowns. A feeling of satisfaction.
The litmus test is will he unban Alex Jones?
If they don’t then you know he is full of it.. In my opinion.
He’ll probably fire 90% except for the top 5% in ads, 10% in business marketing, 15% in coding
It’s early. Let’s see what transpires over the next week or so. Good grief!
Who hasn’t wanted to buy a business and fire all the arrogant and pompous twits running it?
It has been a long time ago now.
But I fondly remember when Bill Harrah bought a casino so that he could fire the jerk manager who was so rude to him
So yes this has been done before.
Go Musk!!!
Why is ESPN reporting this?
Well, I’m rooting for Elon to do the cool thing for twitter. I’m hopeful he’ll restore free speech on the app.
Terminating their employment will never be enough punishment.
It takes time to get keys, login credentials including passwords and to vet systems to make sure nobody left anything behind - like a booby trap to wipe everything if someone’s ban gets reversed. New staff has to be brought in as well as nobody there can be trusted. Give it time.
Doesn’t have to be. Much of the now former Twitter C-Suite is very likely to be facing fraud charges and suits shortly.
he’s gonna get played for sure with lotsa junk tweets...let’s see how he handles it...
Maybe he can start hiring guys named Joe Smith or Bob Williams. Or Fred. Or Dave.....
ESPN considers this sports news? Bizarre.
ESPN is communist.
Elon needs to buy Facebook next. Will be a penny stock by next year. MySpace round 2.
Zuck - Trump Curse in effect on that guy - last 100 BILLION dollars since he spent 300 million to steal our political system.
He should fire whoever wrote that stupid letter just for being too dumb to work at Twitter.
I hope that comes true.
