Elon Musk takes control of Twitter, fires top executives including Parag Agrawal

Live Mint  

Twitter Inc. Chief Executive Officer Parag Agrawal is among executives planning to depart as Elon Musk completes his $44 billion deal to take over the social network, according to people familiar with the matter. In May, Elon Musk replied to a Twitter thread from Agrawal defending the company’s user metrics by tweeting back a poop emoji. Text messages unveiled during the lawsuit show that the two men had a contentious exchange early on during the deal process after Musk asked his followers whether Twitter was “dying.” Agrawal confronted him via text. “You are free to tweet ‘is twitter dying?’ or anything else about Twitter,” he wrote on April 9, “but it’s my responsibility to tell you that it’s not helping me make Twitter better in the current context.” Musk fired back, “What did you get done this week?” And then: “I’m not joining the board this is a waste of time.” The following week, in messages with a friend, Musk mocked Agrawal for being on vacation in Hawaii during deal negotiations.
