Elon Musk completes $44bn Twitter takeover

Elon Musk has completed his $44bn (£38bn) takeover of Twitter after months of toing and froing over the deal.

His first move was to fire the social media company's top leadership, which he accused of misleading him over the number of spam accounts on the platform.

Musk sacked Twitter's chief executive Parag Agrawal, chief financial officer Ned Segal and legal affairs and policy chief Vijaya Gadde, according to reports.
