"The bird is freed," Musk tweeted Thursday night. The acquisition of the influential social media platform ended months of legal confrontations between Musk and Twitter management. But Musk's ownership also raises questions of how Musk will reshape Twitter. Twitter became a private company after the purchase and the New York Stock Exchange suspended shares from trading today. Musk fired at least four Twitter executives Thursday, reported the New York Times and other news sources. Fired Twitter executives included: Parag Agrawal, CEO; Ned Segal, chief financial officer; Vijaya Gadde, chief of legal policy; and Sean Edgett, general counsel. The purchase has put renewed focus on the wealth and influence of individuals and corporations. Visit the link in bio to see how the deal unfolded.
