The world’s richest man, Elon Musk has closed a $44 billion deal to have full ownership of Twitter.

Confirming the ownership, Elon Musk tweeted “the bird is freed”.
He fired a number of top executives such as chief executive Parag Agrawal, and the company’s chief financial officer and its head of safety.
The end of the deal has brought an end to a long and drawn out back-and-forth between the billionaire and the social network.
Elon Musk had tried his best to step back from the Twitter deal after his offer was accepted in April, and in July, he was said to be canceling the contract because he was misled by Twitter over the huge number of fake “bot” accounts.
The ownership deal came hours before the court-appointed deadline for Elon Musk to seal his on-again, off-again deal to purchase Twitter.
