Musk, after taking charge of Twitter has reportedly sacked top executives which includes Indian-origin CEO Parag Agrawal and legal head Vijaya Gadde. He has also fired Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal.
Elon Musk plans to assume the role of chief executive officer at Twitter Inc. The billionaire is expected to remain CEO in the interim but may eventually cede the role in the longer term, the person added. Twitter representatives declined to comment.
He also intends to do away with permanent bans on users because he doesn’t believe in lifelong prohibitions, the person said.
Elon Musk had acquired Twitter nearly six months ago. He made an initial bid of 54.20 per share. However, a few months ago Musk was seen backtracking from the deal as he said that the social media platform has over 5 per cent bot users.
The deadline to close the deal was set by a Delaware court as October 28. The deadline was set so Musk could line up the financers for the deal.
