The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, has completed his $44 billion dollar takeover of Twitter.
He tweeted “the bird is freed,” in an apparent reference to the deal closing.
A number of top executives, including the boss, Parag Agrawal, have reportedly been fired.
It brings to a close a saga that saw Twitter go to court to hold the multi-billionaire to the terms of a takeover deal that he had tried to escape.
Twitter has not yet confirmed the takeover, but an early investor in the company said the deal had been completed.
