“THE bird is freed”. That is what Elon Musk tweeted yesterday on the news that he has finally taken over Twitter, the emblem of which is a little blue bird.
It was a typically trolling message from the tech entrepreneur who is now the world’s richest man.
Musk has been trying to take over Twitter for most of this year.But having first stalled, then pulled out of the deal, then returned to the deal, he has now got ownership of the platform he has long wanted to own.
And started off with a grand firing spree at the top of the company.
So why did he want to own it?
