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.

Agreed. Zuckerbucks here in Wisconsin made the difference. Trump won otherwise. Grrr.
Elon said he loves a good effective ad, so I hope he videoed these firings - showingbthem carrying theair cardboard box out the door would be the best way to promote the new Twitter.
Yes, it’s a damn good start!
Zuckerberg, who just so happens to be Jewish, spent $300m on one election.
Didn’t Dinesh - the conservative filmmaker - get federal jail time for giving an extra 5 or 10 grand to a candidate?
But that’s (D)ifferent.
Amazing what happened to Kanye. He went from billionaire to $400m. He can’t play in stadiums. Banned from Peleton. Agent dropped him. Lawyers dropped him. GAP threw out his clothes. Adidas severed ties and said they own his designs so that’s headed for litigation. He’s soon to be off Spotify and other sites. Basically, canceled.
Had he said ‘the whites this’ or ‘the whites that’ or Christians this or that = no problem.
That’s a lot of power. Picking our presidents and Congress and ruling our culture so that a billionaire black man can be busted down to possibly nothing.
Hmm, sounds like paper billions, not cash in the bank billions.
So pretty much the same as what Gov Org spends.
Now if I can remember my Twitter password...
ESPN?
I don’t give two cents about that grifter
The real test is If they unban Trump and all of his followers
Alex has a radio show. He doesn’t need Twitter
It’s ok he’s still a Kardashian
It’s a start. Until he gains operational control – particularly over the employees who could sabotage him, I think it’ll take time.
There’s another story out that as of noon he locked out ALL the employees.
Not sure about that.
But Musk won’t do what Trump did. Trump left all the lower level people still there.
Trump needed to ax 70% of the D.C. power structure and Deep State pawns. CLEAN HOUSE.
That’s what Elon has to do as well.
LOL, because it is SPORT, of course!
Dave’s not here, man.
He is quick to work on operational control too...locked out the Twit(ter) software engineers and brought in Tesla software people:

Sheesh, he just closed on the deal.
Give him time.
carrying a porcelain sink and tweeting..... “Entering Twitter HQ - let that sink in!”
