He has also hinted at plans to turn Twitter into an "everything app", which he has dubbed "X". Mr Musk has said he wants to "defeat" spam bots on Twitter, make the algorithms that determine how content is presented to its users publicly available, and prevent the platform from becoming an echo chamber for hate and division, even as he limits censorship. That means people previously booted off the platform may be allowed to return, though it is not clear whether that will include former US President Donald Trump. The Tesla chief executive has said he wants to scrap user bans as he does not believe in lifetime prohibitions, Bloomberg reported. The oustings mark the first in a raft of changes likely to be implemented by Mr Musk, whose takeover of Twitter has been plagued by controversy and legal wranglings.
Mr Musk, who tweeted "the bird is freed" after taking control of the company, will take the role of chief executive and is due to speak to Twitter employees directly today, according to an internal memo. His tenure was overshadowed by Mr Musk's convoluted takeover bid, and the pair clashed on the platform as well as in private text messages. Mr Agrawal, who had been at Twitter for 11 years, took over as chief executive last November following the departure of founder Jack Dorsey. Mr Agrawal, Mr Segal and Mr Edgett were in Twitter's San Francisco headquarters when the deal closed and were escorted out, according to reports.īiz Stone, who co-founded Twitter with Jack Dorsey, thanked the sacked executives, describing them as "massive talents" and "beautiful humans". Sean Edgett, who has been general counsel at Twitter since 2012, was also ousted. Mr Musk sacked chief executive Parag Agrawal, chief financial officer Ned Segal and legal affairs and policy chief Vijaya Gadde. Twitter’s buyout is causing major changes in the company and the coming months may become more brutal.Elon Musk has sacked a raft of top Twitter executives and declared "the bird is freed" after completing his $44bn (£38bn) takeover of the social media company. Since the revenue targets weren’t met, the company needs to rethink its strategy to thrive in the market. The Twitter CEO further added that the company didn’t meet its expected milestones and the Russia-Ukraine war added fuel to the fire. As always, performance management will continue to be a priority at this time at all levels to ensure we have the strongest teams possible.“ He said, ” We are not planning company-wide layoffs, but leaders will continue making changes to their organizations to improve efficiencies as needed. Apart from the business-critical roles as determined by Staff members, no further hiring will take place. Parag Agrawal shared that the company won’t hire new people in the coming months. If you are aiming to work with Twitter, it isn’t the best time to apply.
From the looks of it, the two leaders might have made the decision due to the existing state of affairs. Like Kayvon, he didn’t cite any clear reason for the management change. All teams will report to Jay Sullivan while the company looks for a new leader.
