The billionaire and support of the world’s largest meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE) stated that he acquired the social media platform because “it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence.”
Notably, following his acquisition of Twitter, Elon Musk has also fired the CEO and CFO of the social meda giant, as per a report from Bloomberg. Chief Executive Officer Parag Agrawal; Vijaya Gadde, the head of legal, policy and trust; Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal; Sean Edgett, who has been general counsel at Twitter since 2012, are all leaving the company.
