The Bird is Freed" is how Elon Musk finally announced his takeover of the world's biggest microblogging service platform following a sensational $44 billion deal and a long period of public and legal squabble. The chain of controversies, however, is far from seeing an end. But if there was one thing the world knew when Musk showed interest in owning Twitter was that it was going to get more entertaining and dramatic for everyone.
So, Twitter is now officially owned by the world's richest man. In just about a week and a half's time, Musk has made it perfectly clear to those who had doubts that he is not in the least close to the traditional corporate businessman. This, though, is no surprise for anyone who has followed Musk's journey to the top so far. The unconventional front foot player that Musk is, the man started the Twitter Takeover drama series by sacking the company CEO.
Within hours of confirming the takeover via a Tweet, Musk fired the Chief Executive Officer Parag Agarwal, the Chief of Policy, Legal, Trust & Safety Vijaya Gadde, and Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal. Over the next couple of days, tech news headlines have been full of stories related to mass layoffs, Musk's list of radical plans for the platform, and a number of changes users should expect starting with an $8 bill for blue tick verification. To say such things make a segment of users uncomfortable would be to put it lightly. Like everything else in the world right now, Musk's takeover of one of the world's most popular social media platforms has been an equally polarising discussion topic.
But before we get into the controversies, conspiracy theories, and polarising opinions, let's take a quick look at what has happened since the takeover was confirmed by the man himself.
