Immediately after taking the lead on Twitter, Musk reportedly brought down several top figures, including Chief Executive Agrewal, Ned Segal, the leading financial official and Vilija Gadde, the head of legal policy, confidence and security. AgraWal and Segal were at Twitter headquarters in San Francisco when the agreement was closed and escorted out, Reuters reported.
The reported holidays follow news that Musk planned to eliminate nearly 75% of Twitter staff in an effort to pay off the company's debt. Musk later dismissed those reports, telling the employees that it would not cut such a large portion of the staff.
A sense of confusion over the deal remained Thursday evening, however, neither Twitter nor Musk immediately confirmed the dismissals. Musk, who had previously changed his Twitter biography to “Chief Twit”, wrote on Twitter “sogu was released”, but did not mention its new purchase or downloads after publishing the news.
Twitter now enters a new chapter, with questions hanging on what Musk plans to do with a platform that plays an extraordinary role in the political and media landscape because of following it among journalists, commentators, celebrities and politicians.
Musk paid a visit to the company's headquarters in San Francisco on Wednesday, holding a sink and visiting staff. He said he's buying the company “to try to help humanity”. / P ERISCOPIA
