Tech prodigy Elon Musk took control of Twitter and began to firing up its top executives late Thursday according to the deal that puts one of the leading social media platforms in the hands of the world's richest man.
After taking the charge of twitter as it’s ‘all in all,’ Musk fired up chief executive Parag Agrawal, as well as the company's chief financial officer and its head of safety, reports Washington Post and CNBC.
Agrawal previously went to court to hold the Tesla chief to the terms of a takeover deal he had tried to escape.
The reports came hours before the court-appointed deadline for Musk to seal his on-again, off-again deal to purchase the social media network.
Musk tweeted earlier in the day that he was buying Twitter "because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner."
Twitter did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the departure of its top executives, but the platform's co-founder Biz Stone thanked the trio -- Agrawal, Ned Segal and Vijaya Gadde -- for their "collective contribution to Twitter."
