Elon Musk has started his takeover of Twitter after several months of legal saga. He fired the company’s CEO, Parag Agrawal, the chief financial officer, Ned Segal, and other key executives as his first action. Just before a Friday deadline to consummate the acquisition, Musk assumes control. This week, he visited the San Francisco headquarters of Twitter and chatted with staff members there. He apparently also hired a few Tesla engineers to “review” Twitter’s source code. The New York Times reported that “at least one” executive was escorted from the company’s office on Thursday. Twitter didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Musk has made it apparent that he plans to make further significant changes to the social media company by changing his Twitter bio to “Chief Twit.” He has expressed his desire to loosen Twitter’s moderation guidelines and his distaste for indefinite suspensions in both public appearances and private correspondence. More layoffs are apparently inevitable, though he has assured workers that the reductions won’t reach 75%.

Under Musk’s direction, the company’s core service might also undergo significant modification. Musk has stated that he wants to “open source” Twitter’s algorithm so that users may better understand its suggestions, in addition to relaxing the platform’s moderation guidelines. He has also made an effort to reassure sponsors that he does not want Twitter to be a “free-for-all hellscape” and that it should instead be the “most respected advertising platform in the world.” Sarah Personette, COO of Twitter, stated that she had a “wonderful discussion” with Elon Musk.

Musk is expected to explore for methods to boost non-advertising revenue as he frequently expresses his ambition for Twitter to “be an accelerant to producing X, the everything app” similar to WeChat in China. He has suggested modifications to Twitter Blue and has put out the notion of charging businesses for tweet embeds.
