Elon Musk reportedly plans to become Twitter’s interim chief executive after buying platform
The Guardian says Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, wants to lead Twitter as chief executive, at least in the interim, Bloomberg is reporting.
Elon Musk plans to assume the role of chief executive at the social media group after completing his $44bn acquisition, on top of leading the electric carmaker Tesla and the spacecraft manufacturer SpaceX.
Musk intends to replace Parag Agrawal, who was fired along with other major executives upon completion of the takeover, Bloomberg said, citing a person familiar with the matter said. The billionaire is expected to remain CEO in the interim but may eventually cede the role in the longer term. Twitter declined to comment.
