Elon Musk decided to proceed with the Twitter deal and paid the promised $44 billion to the company to complete his acquisition. Of course, since he already was in dispute with some of the people working in high ranks of the company, he fired them, the moment he stepped into the office. He showed the exit door to the CEO Parag Agrawal, to the CFO Ned Segal, and to the CLC Vijaya Gadde.
Intracompany sources confirm for DailyMail that this is true. However, there is no information on whether Musk signed the complete paperwork for the deal. There is no official information on the closing of the transaction. However, the thing that surely happened is that Elon Musk already stepped into the office and re-arranged the top executives of the company.

Rumors state that the first thing that he will do is reverse the lifetime ban on all banned Twitter users. In fact, Musk already announced this back in May.

The harassment mostly affected Vijaya Gadde, as most of the comments were racist, or misogynistic in nature. In addition to all this, there were numerous calls for Musk to fire her once he steps into office.
