Elon Musk has fired Twitter’s CEO, as well as a few other senior executives, within days of taking ownership.
The world’s richest man confirmed yesterday he had completed his long-running $44 billion takeover of Twitter. And he hasn’t wasted any time making changes.
The South Africa-born entrepreneur has already dismissed chief executive Parag Agrawal, chief financial officer Ned Segal and general counsel Vijaya Gadde.
However, according to reports, Mr Musk told staff during his visit that it was not true that he was planning on cutting up to 75% of Twitter staff after acquiring the company.
It had previously been reported that Mr Musk told investors he planned to cut around three-quarters of the firm’s 7,500 employees.
