AP sources: Musk in control of Twitter, ousts top executives

Elon Musk has taken control of Twitter and ousted the CEO, chief financial officer and the company’s general counsel, two people familiar with the deal said Thursday night.

The people wouldn’t say if all the paperwork for the deal, originally valued at $44 billion, had been signed or if the deal has closed. But they said Musk is in charge of the social media platform and has fired CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal and General Counsel Vijaya Gadde. Neither person wanted to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the personnel moves.

The departures come just hours before a deadline set by a Delaware judge to finalize the deal on Friday. She threatened to schedule a trial if no agreement was reached.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE.

Within the next two years, Musk will take twitter public again, @ quadruple it's current value.

He'll become twice as rich as the next person on the list!

Most companies could easily afford to this for all their employees, but choose not to so that a few C level execs could make millions upon millions.

I'd say the bulk of companies in India, SEA, China, Japan etc extract as much as they can out of their employees.

All the C level execs usually studied in the US/UK and thus strive for the hyper capitalistic dream of constant growth each quarter.

I'm still waiting for Captain "freedom of speech" to offer the same luxury to his Tesla employees?

I was one that totally wanted this acquisition, because the eventual implosion will be epic.

Already a racist sh!t show and looks like he's worried about advertisers. :lol: Appreciate the man's tech contributions, but this is what happens when Simp-worshipper fueled ego gets out of hand. An innovator in a particular field (related fields) doesn't mean you have all the answers.

Public beta is about to begin.

Image

Just as Elon Musk was finalizing his purchase of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, the company's founder and former CEO, announced a beta for a new social-media company.

Dorsey's blockchain-based Bluesky Social announced last Tuesday that it's launching soon and is currently enlisting users for beta testing. The initial news drew 30,000 sign-ups within two days, company representatives said. Users can still sign up to join the app to become a beta user before the platform is publicly available.

Bluesky's website said it's intended to support "a new foundation for social networking which gives creators independence from platforms, developers the freedom to build, and users a choice in their experience." According to Gizmodo, one of its Bluesky's main selling points is that its technology — which it calls "AT Protocol" — will give users control of their algorithms.

Dorsey had said in 2019 that Twitter was funding work into developing "an open and decentralized standard for social media."

Oh sh!t.

Musk said he doesn’t want the platform to become a “free-for-all-hellscape where anything can be said with no consequences,” despite his stated promise to bolster “free speech.”

Backtrack in full swing.

Elon Musk fired Twitter execs including CEO Parag Agrawal 'for cause' in a bid to avoid paying out tens of millions in severance, report says

A person familiar with the matter told The Information that Musk dismissed the executives "for cause" to try to avoid severance payouts and unvested stock awards, suggesting he had justification for their termination. Two people with knowledge of the subject told The New York Times the executives were now considering their options.

The former executives were in line for payouts totalling almost $90 million, with Agrawal set for $38.7 million, largely due to shares vested since his departure. The research firm Equilar told Reuters the payouts could go as high as $122 million.

Elon Musk has said Twitter will charge $8 (£7) monthly to Twitter users who want a blue tick by their name indicating a verified account.

A blue tick mark next to a username - normally for high-profile figures - is currently free.

But Mr Musk is facing a hefty challenge as he works to overhaul Twitter's business, which has not posted a profit in years.

He has said he wants to reduce Twitter's reliance on advertising, even as some companies have grown concerned about advertising on the site under his leadership.

General Motors - a rival of Mr Musk's electric car company Tesla - said last week it was suspending advertising on the site.

Meanwhile, on Monday, one of the world's biggest advertising companies, IPG, advised its clients to suspend Twitter adverts for a week, citing a need for more clarity on the Twitter's plans to ensure "trust and safety" on the platform. IPG is given billions of pounds per year, by some of the world's biggest brands, to handle their marketing budgets.

Many on the platform echoed the statement of author Stephen King, who wrote in response to reports of changes that instead Twitter "should pay me".

Does he realize that someone like Taylor Swift, Rihanna or Katy Perry could break twitter this very night if they choose to leave given all these turmoils.
