Elon Musk’s $44 bln acquisition of Twitter completed

Billionaire Elon Musk completed the $44 billion acquisition of Twitter late Thursday evening, and his first step after completing the deal was to dismiss the social media company’s top executives, whom he accused of misleading him about the number of spam accounts on the platform.

According to “Reuters”, sources said that Musk has dismissed Twitter CEO Paraj Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer Ned Sejal and Chief Legal and Policy Affairs Vijaya Jade. The sources added that Agrawal and Sejal were at Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco when the deal was completed and were taken outside the headquarters.
