Citing people with knowledge of the situation, the report said that Musk “has started cleaning house at Twitter with the firings of at least four top executives”. The names include CEO Parag Agrawal, policy chief Vijaya Gadde, chief financial officer Ned Segal and general counsel Sean Edgett.
The deal’s closing removes a cloud of uncertainty that has hung over Twitter’s business, employees and shareholders for much of the year, the CNN commented. After initially agreeing to buy the company in April, Musk spent months attempting to get out of the deal, first citing concerns about the number of bots on the platform and later allegations raised by a company whistleblower.
Musk arrived at the company’s headquarters in San Francisco on Wednesday (October 27) and had been meeting with engineers and advertising executives. Musk also updated his Twitter description to “Chief Twit.” He strolled in the halls of the office carrying a sink. He shared the video on Twitter with the caption: “Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!”

Later in the day, Musk wrote a message to reassure advertisers that social messaging services wouldn’t devolve into “a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences!”
“The reason I acquired Twitter is 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, without resorting to violence,” Musk said in the message.
“There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far-right wing and far left-wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society.”
