webfact Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The Tesla CEO finalized a transaction he was determined to walk away from before performing a surprise U-turn this month. Photograph: Dado Ruvić/Reuters The $44bn deal will give world’s richest man control of influential social media platform with more than 230m users Dan Milmo Global technology editor, and Kari Paul in San Francisco Elon Musk has reportedly completed his $44bn takeover of Twitter, taking control of the company and firing several of the company’s top executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal. Several outlets, including Reuters, the Washington Post and the New York Times, reported on Thursday evening that Ned Segal, the chief financial officer, and Vijaya Gadde, head of legal policy, trust and safety, were also fired, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity. Agrawal and Segal were in Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters when the deal closed and were escorted out, Reuters reported. The news comes ahead of a Friday deadline to complete his purchase of the platform, and will give the world’s richest man control of an influential social media platform with more than 230 million users, and caps several tumultuous months of back and forth over whether he would buy the company.

Iamfalang Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I have a similar contract with TVF. If I ever get blocked, I get 108 million Kip. Right before the takeover, seconds before it was finalized, I made sure I got access to the "secret" threads that you guys will never see!!!! I heard some top execs at Twitter will get 45 million USD. All those twitter sheep post, complain, fight, post, fight more, complain more, whatever.... get nothing. This is the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, it's the business potential of Trump's 75 million supporters, But will Trump accept the offer from someone and an organisation, that Trump feels have both insulted him? With Trump going back to Twitter, it might also mean the certain death knell of Truth Social which is already struggling to survive. Trump's previous ban from Twitter was its main raison d'être. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
