Elon Musk is the new owner of Twitter, multiple new outlets reported late Thursday. The New York Times also reported Musk had begun firing multiple top Twitter executives. After months of legal wrangling and public acrimony, the deal was slated to close by Friday, giving the Tesla billionaire control of one of the world’s most powerful megaphones. Musk has not yet named a chief executive. On Wednesday, he changed his Twitter bio to "Chief Twit" shortly before walking into Twitter's San Francisco headquarters carrying a porcelain sink. "Let that sink in," he tweeted. With the deal completed, Twitter is once again a private company. Its shares stopped trading nearly nine years after it went public under the symbol TWTR on the New York Stock Exchange. Visit the link in bio for more information.
