WASHINGTON: Twitter’s new boss Elon Musk wasted no time on Thursday firing CEO Parag Agrawal, legal head Vijaya Gadde and three other top executives of the company moments after he took charge, tweeting “the bird is freed” to indicate the social media platform would now be more open to unfettered and uninhibited speech.
“Spoiler Alert. Let the good times roll,” Musk, 51, tweeted early Friday morning.
As reported by TOI on Thursday, dismissal of the two Indian-American principals was inevitable as soon as Musk completed his acquisition. Agrawal and Gadde, who clashed with Musk in the days leading to the takeover over purported fake accounts and censorship, were literally shown the door, reportedly escorted out of the Twitter headquarters.
