Elon Musk is already making good on his promise to lay off over 5,000 Twitter employees once his $44 billion acquisition of the platform went through. Per The New York Times, Musk swiftly began firing high-level executives at the company once he officially closed the deal on Thursday.
Among those reportedly given the boot are CEO Parag Agrawal; CFO Ned Segal; Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s head of legal, policy and trust, and safety; and general counsel Sean Edgett. When CNBC first reported the closed deal, it was also noted that Agrawal and Segal had departed Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters. Musk has not yet directly commented on any of the firings.
