After months of speculation, Elon Musk has finally acquired Twitter, and fans seem to have mixed emotions. The majority of them don’t seem to be happy as they feel he made unnecessary changes on arrival. Sadly, he fired the ‘CEO, CFO, its head of legal policy, trust, and safety, and its general counsel.’

While Musk had his reasons for it, the community felt it to be much, as the company faired well before his arrival. And so, they did not approve of the firing spree. But, there was nothing that anyone one could do as the man was the sole player to make the decisions for his recently owned company.

But sadly, Elon fell prey to a sudden dark time, limiting him from buying the blue bird. However, that did not stop him from being connected to the platform, as he became of the most active users on it. He spent time talking to various industry leaders, gamers, and shared insights on topics whenever he could. This somehow became a positive cue for him as he learned more and more about the company. 

Musk’s love-hate relationship went on for months, after which he finally walked into the Twitter headquarters. His acquisition deal started on April 14, 2022, and finally concluded on October 27, 2022. Elon Musk paid $54.20 per share as a cash transaction to buy out the company for a whopping $44 billion. And now, with the company in his hands, he said, “The bird is fleed.”
