Elon Musk has completed his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter, a source familiar with the deal told CNN Thursday, putting the world’s richest man in charge of one of the world’s most influential social media platforms. Musk fired CEO Parag Agrawal and two other executives, according to two people familiar with the decision. Twitter declined to comment. The deal’s closing removes a cloud of uncertainty that has hung over Twitter’s business, employees and shareholders for much of the year.
Within weeks of the acquisition agreement, however, Musk began raising concerns about the prevalence of those same fake and spam accounts on Twitter and ultimately attempted to terminate the deal. Twitter sued him to follow through with the agreement, alleging that Musk was using the bot argument as a pretense to get out of a deal for which he had developed buyer’s remorse.
WELL DONE ELON... You have more closets to clean out in twatter land
Hey mister musk please lone me 150000 so I can move get all my meds keep my health up
Beware, he will come to clean up the CNN cesspool too.
To think of all the good he could of done with that money. Money is wasted on the rich.
Arrogant p***k.
God cnn suxs
Anyone can see that you are portraying Elon Musk, as a shrewd mean man. Look at the picture you chose for this tweet. You are trying to sway peoples opinion. Please just report news. Straight news. Not politicized. Not biased.
This such great news
Epic
Let me get this straight!! The incredible awesomeness of Musk buying twitter is to give everyone an equal voice & free speech opportunity, and the only thing Liberals are concerned and mad about is that people that they hate can no longer be censored lol
Elon Musk taking this Twitter is why I'm joining, so CNN can lie to you, but I don't buy the lies no more. Never again. Cancel CNN.
I'm baaaaaaaaaaack.......
A huge win for the Constitution.
Twitter has now been named NitTwiiT
Breaking news cnn is Devastated Twitter will give Conservatives Free Speech rights
The times they are a changin...
'according to a source' -- real journalism btw
Account deletion happening
EXCELLENT NEWS!!!! WE HAVE TO STOP THE BIAS...
Republican Racists will spread their lies & ridiculous conspiracy theories on Musk’s Twitter. It might be time for the intelligent population, those able to differentiate truth from lies & reality from delusion, to leave Twitter. It’s time to drop Twitter from the portfolios.
Hahahhahahhahahaha!!!
Trump irá directo a la cárcel, por mentiroso, incitar a los trumpistas a ir al capitolio donde hubo muerto y destruir, donde decían CUELGUEN A PENCE. Como ha cambiado este país desde que yo llegue aquí hace 58 años.
lira12_joy Welcome freedom of speech...away with censorship
Right on !!! Let the good times roll brother
Bwwahahahahahhaa
What a disaster!!
Now if we could just get someone to do that to CNN and Disney it will be a start
Finally we can stop the deplaforming people for speaking against the mainstream narrative. Ukraine IS not winning the war.. breaths
If Elon needs some help in clearing out the deadwood wokester looney lefties, I would love to volunteer!
Your pathetic lying company should be next! You continue to hide and lie about the Border, Joe Biden PEDOPHILE, Pedophile Island etc.
He let them go.
Good!! Speech bans are being lifted thanks to Elon.
He has a right to fire them, but it could be a huge mistake.
Good thing to terminate
That’s nice. Just in time to allow free speech for the election. People will still make last minute election claims. You may not have time to determine truth from lies. But at least all sides will have a voice on Twitter, unlike before.
ESTE IZO SU DINERO EN LOS EEUU Y DEFIENDE AL PEOR DICTADOR AL ENEMIGO MAS GRANDE DE LA HISTORIA CONTRA LOS EEUU ASI ESTA EL MUNDO
Good riddance
I'm back as long as you do not censor just conserves. I want both sides reprrsented
Elon should have bought CNN and fire u all first.
The whole point of this is to bring about free speech. I support Musk who’s stepping up to bring an end to the agenda ridden, human rights defilement ‘cancel culture’
ORWELL WAS PARAG A CODING TROLL OH YES I DOE HAVE SOME PLAUSIBLE PROOF NOTY ENOUGH TO REDEEM YOURSELF MR MUSCC TATA PARAG 🤣 ALL GOOD THINGS 🕊️ OH YES ! BO'OM' FR'OM' 5'36' .... ....🕊️
Well. Maybe it’s the end of Twitter.
Take the ban off trump. Give Andrew tate a invite while your at it.
The deal he tried to get out of in the summer. Lol
The tears are to good. Freedom of speech for all, not just the politicians that sign MSM paychecks.
Freedom!
He will now probably put the Saudi Prince as CEO considering the Saudis now Own 1/3 of Twitter... 🤨
Free speech is back.
Here comes TRUMP TrumpWasRightAboutEverything
😂 Karma 💀
Day 1 on the job and he's already done more than biden.
Drain the swamp
As if saying, this is not about loyalty. This is about business. You may be next.
Putin's platform and Twit's 13$$$$$$$$$ support and mineral rare reserve.
👏👏👏👏
Are we going into space let me pack a bag
If only all the twitter quitters could be believed and leave. Elon will have had a good first day on the job.
Nothing wrong with firing people and bringing in your own.
Good now start banning all these scumbag politicians and news outlets.
It looks so much better. The layout is pleasing to the eyes. Thanks Elon
Free Trump!!!!
It’s going to be an even greater day on Nov 8 th when Republicans take the house and senate! Watching Dems pack their boxes and walk out the doors! True Freedom!
Hah
No truth will come out. Cnn fake news.
I love all of the people commenting that they are deleting their accounts. Why comment? Probably deleting on the way to Chick-fil-A
Breaking bad
Awesome! No worries, they all are getting big payout.
Nice! Just reopened my account, hope it’s getting interesting now.
U look like I don't know what.
I bet Trump is back on.
Here we go.
Freedom at last !!
Will that influence common policy?
With an election in a week, it seems like progressives obsessing over Elon Musk is just the distraction the GOP needs to sneak in and take a bunch of power.
Excellent 👋
Today healing music
I’m back because he has control now. Thanks Elon
Free birdie
LUNC
Trump will be back
Its his house to clean … Media is in fear of this .
Hindus are happy cause twitter head didnt supported neo nazi modi hindu agenda via twitter. Muslims are happy cause hindus got fired. White people are happy cause greasy, spices secreting smelly indians got fired. Thank you Elon. The world is a happy place today.
I still don’t get what the exact details are that he is going to change. conservatives are going crazy over nothing. Because misleading tweets are no longer going to get labeled as such?
Cool!
😉
nice, this platform was horrible it can only improve

This is Musk's revenge deal.
I am the boss...
Fantastic
actually thats a pretty cool move elonmusk alot of corruption was coming from that direction of ' staff ' for the past few years .
It's official the left rein of terror on twitter is over
DonaldTrump can join again on Twitter and withdraw TruthSocial .
Power fucking move
Why he brought sink alone to Twitter HQ to flush them out. Àfter milking him 😁😁😁😁😁
I still stay.
show them who's the boss right away....no chit chat...
Awesome cleaning house
Not good.
Musk finally taking over and showing up is like the ending part of Lord of the Flies when the adults finally show up to the island and put an end to the murderous madness.
dondekojo According to a source
CNN's account should be suspended every time they post misinformation. Like every day.
Musk “freed bird” for Putin & his agent Trump for Putin’s money
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”.
So whatever we're thinking in the future will automatically be uploaded to Twitter
I love Twitter now. No more monkey pox zombies here
Good one. Free speech comes first
He bought it 11 days before an Election
At last ...hopefully no more fact checkers postings ... FREE SPEECH PLEASS
Thank god for that !I say !! Amen !!
elonmusk is a selfish billionaire. Free speech!
🧨✨🍾🥂😅😅😅 elonmusk
His first day of owning Twitter and he already making great decisions. Go Elon!
What time did this close? 4:20pm? I’ll bet it was. And what’s with the kitchen sink? Everything is a big joke to him now even when peoples jobs and lives are at stake.
Now the two CEO's can start a new platform
elonmusk 64 million followers and 2,200 👍🏼’s? Please look into these fudged numbers.
Bring back Trump!
Please fire more Elon.
The bird 🦅 getting some wings clipped = taming the bird
It would have been cheaper to create a new social media platform and pay everyone a 1$ for signing up.
that is how you take ownership....
Good
Didn’t somebody take over CNN. Aren’t they cleaning house over there as well?
Noooooooooo !!!!!! 😪😥😢😰 😱😱😱😱
Nice!
Confirmed!
Bad fellow 🤣😂😜
Boycott Twitter if trump comes back to Twitter!
Stop using Twiter and problem solved!
Crazy, with tech stocks crashing massively on the djia
Media is reporting this as if Musk had a choice in this deal. He was forced to buy Twitter by the people he just fired. So much for the genius people report him to be. 😂
😎
I hate this pic of him. Can someone delete it from the matrix please?
Goodbye...
Free speech 👍
GOD saves us all.
Throw socialists off helicopters and throw Anarcho-communists into pits of fire alive in honor of all my south Slavic ancestors who have been starved under the Jewish red star
welcome
Is he turning into Lex Luther
MASKS DONT WORK!!! YOUR COVID JAB DOESNT WORK!!! TRUMP WON!!!!! ELONFREESPEECHISBACK
Elon has only just started
chad musk
Thank God, finally free speech has to be protected that's what America was founded upon. Land of the 'free' home of the brave. If u want communism please seek asylum in Russia! I grew up on this being the greatest country in the world and support his philosophy!
Hitler is in
Couldnt He have Just bought another playground? These rich libertarian are a danger for free speech.
Yeah sure, lol, Elon’s out to get ya’s! Boogie woogie woogie!
Please fire those people working on censorship.
Yeah! Celebration time.
Digital Gitmo for the progressive tools.
For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his own Soul
No more Indians ❤️
👍
End if times
By by 🎉🎉🎉
Same thing happened at CNN when they were taken over. Basic house cleaning
Mnyamaaaaa. Africans now we own Twitter 🤠
Make all users identity themselves or else they are out. Brave step, so take it.
elonmusk Ban CNN!
Why does he always look like the villain in a foreign movie?
Now he's free to destroy the Sun
Wait, I thought Elon Musk changed his mind & wasn't going to purchase Twitter?
To bad he won’t buy cnn and than make it fox 2 lol lol lol
You don't buy a company and then keep people who will sabotage your vision for the company. That's just a business decision. No matter whether u agree with Elon or not you have to agree that's a smart move if you want to implement your vision for the company.
Right wing saying 'the elites dont control twitter' because the richest man on the planet isnt elite... lol clown show.
Simply an excuse to fire them. If you can't pay, you fire. Simple rule.
Is it the Halloween 🎃 mood or he really looks as a Vampire 🧛♂️?
Ok, everyone…where’s the new platform?
Their discomfort makes happy.
And CNN will continue to die a slow death for their lies.
Yay!
Ok here’s the start of more miss information and straight up lies.
Good.
Wonder who his big investors are? Look it up.
Now bring back Trump
Hate speech is protected speech
Keep firing!
PoliBard Any footage of them crying 😭
Day 1 of Twitter not being the propaganda arm of the left.
Mad man.
Great. Bravo Elon.👍👍👍👍
We're loosing these all ..... OMG
There's nothing like free tweets no more on Twitter
Best deal ever for free speech - Wokistan down 👎
Bravo!
Twitter employees are shaking in their boots
SmugBastard
Richtig Elon, greif durch bei den Meinungsfreiteitsfledderern.
I'm sure he as new and really cool features for Twitter that will be available next year. Then after he doesn't deliver on it, it'll be the next year after that. Then the next year.
He is corrupted by power and money. Compassion, truth, virtue, honesty, humility are values he would do well to cultivate.
Whew. Now we can all say. MASK DONT WORK! It’s not a vaccine…it’s a terrible therapeutic.
Congratulations. Censorship on Twitter has died. America is great. I love Twitter.
Poor CNN... can on longer control the message!
It’s a beautiful thing.
Is that the face of a supervillain or what?
Why, when he could bought both gettr and truth social for the price of a large instant ramen?
Cope more
So Trump will be back soon?
ETTD
Freedom of speech for ALL...what a crazy concept 😂😂💯
I just looked through hundreds of if not more, of her comments, I literally saw zero racist comments and I rarely seen anything that disagreed with her…. I’m confused. Did she just make this up? And Alison’s over the top play afterwards made this really awkward and uncomfortable
What the heck is Carrie saying.... basically she is saying there racism on Twitter right now... so this tells me under agrawal leadership that he was not dealing with free speech
The idea that a for-profit media company 'impacts all our lives' proves that our social/economic order is f^*ked up.
Ok start screaming and go find your safe-space !!!
Best Wishes!
How does it feel woke/pinko/pedophile apologists? By the way men can’t have babies. Ever. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🫃🫃🫃🫃😷😷😷😷. Your brief reign of terror is OVER
Freedom!
Love to see it.
Welp this AP is gonna start to suck worse
Doesn’t matter. Twitter goes down in flames, so what.
Bad guy😆
Good. Now we wait n see how what direction he intends to go.
Let the free speech party commence🥳🥳
Good bye Twitter
Don’t let trump back in Elon.. he’s depressing to all
When he says free speech he means you will be free to discuss things like vaccines the war and whatever you want within reason, he doesn’t mean you can be a racist or plot something major he just means the government and Twitter won’t be your ‘mommy’ as you would say in the US
He’s so cocky
SCUMMMMMMM
YA ELON !!! THANX
This is so fucking glorious, cry more blue checks
What these two are really saying 'what will we do if people we don't like get to have more of a say in things?' It's called a true marketplace of ideas, ladies.
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
Private companies can do what they want. You can always make your own private platform.
How does the cancel culture feel? How does being fired fill? Karma is a bitch and it's coming for you lefties.
In my experience, people have disagreed strongly on issues more than they have race. Not sure what Cari Champion was going on about.
So why is it Elon’s fault that black women got shamed up till now. Did you guys at CNN have too many covid jabs or what?
Carrie Champion (sp?) with a total nonsensical take. And everyone totally nods along.
Sorry I’m new to tweeting, and sorry to bring this up again. I was born in 1951, and I lived in a 25K home my parents bought after my dad returned from the Pacific Theater with a bronze star, AND we had a flushing toilet.
That lady sounded as if she blamed Elon before he even owned Twitter for what was happening to her when she tweets ….does she remember Elon asking twitter about Bots?
It's a private company he can do what he wants ;)
Isn't the world is going towards dictatorship! Shame on ELONMUSK Shame on Twitter
Twitter will become the new MySpace under Elon Musk. Waiting for the new social media site to become the popular one.
I forget how bad CNN is.
Make Twitter great again 🇺🇸
MTGA
I really wish elonmusk would fucking leave Earth already. Mars
Are you all crying in your cubicles
🍼
So disappointed.. JFC
This conversation sounds suspiciously like unbridled envy. I recall that Ted Turner was in a similar relative wealth position when he started the CNN franchise.
Arrogant person
Waiting for the crazy to start
Whelp. Twitter is now Aliensarereal and Elvisdrinksblood
It's been a ride....,,
This is no different than when the Nazis banned the Jewish press in germany. Scary times ahead... Holocaust WhiteSupremacy
Outstanding
Uggghhhh. Awful news
Twitter = online Fox
So what’s the issue?
Now just wait a second., I thought this guy was about to purchase the Ukraine including NATO... ANY ONE?
Elon musk for president In 2024!!! You are my hero. It’s about time Americans had freedom of speech. Love you!!!
Zigmanfreud love it...
Bring back the TheBabylonBee
Now we all can tell the TRUTH, unlike YOU, CNN !!!!!
Ok, everyone…where’s the new platform?
Hopefully freedom of speech will finally be implemented now on Twitter because I'm tired of getting my accounts suspended. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Elon Evil.
All I can do is roll my eyes and say, “oh jeez.”
Is Elon Musk the guy who's trying to build a hotel space station, or a moon theme park on the moon, or am I thinking about other people?
Another crazy person who I think should be treated with some kind of intervention before he gets to the stage like Kanye west .
vijaya and paraga are spreading misinformation claiming they are the ceo of Twitter. They should work for cnn
You mad and the wokesters?
To transform a culture you need to take out the top two levels of it's leadership. Why? They are the ones who define what is 'good job' or a 'brave martyr'.
Free Speech at last!
Block every advertiser.
muskisapsychopath
But he let Trump back on. That’s about as free for all as you can get
Awesome to see those two fly away, :) New blood is needed in tweeter indeed, :)
He could do what ever he wants with his company.
Keep going. Top-down.
We need a new platform to share thoughts and ideas semi freely. Twitter was hurting and humiliating to many powerful people so he bought it
Time to leave Twitter
Ugh
The CEO got $47 million for being fired.
Your next CNN with current ratings elonmusk could get a sweet deal on ya!
he can go to hell
Zigmanfreud
Who cares? Whatever turns you or him on!
Best. Day. Ever. 😆
Well, it’s been fun. But I’m out. I just tried to deactivate my account, but, it didn’t go through. I’m sure there a lot of Twitter accounts that will be deactivated in the next few days. Twitter will not be the same under Musk. I refuse to go backwards. I’ll move forward.
Awesome!!! Hopefully he can save us from the far Left!!
Coming off the NYSE and actually becoming a private business. Don’t like it? Build your own
fire all these scumbags 😂😂
Masks don’t work, there is only 2 genders (male/female), Covid is the Chinese virus, Hunter Biden’s laptop, I can play this all day now🤣🤣🤣 Make Twitter Great Again elonmusk
Scary because he could let Trump back on Twitter before the midterms and that would be destructive to America as it's trying to get out from under all his crap!
unWoke
Great 👍
Excellent…
So who gets my data first?
Elon Musk Sucks…
He went Ari on em -
elkabong82 And Russian bots are out in full force on Twitler. Surely just a coincidence!
Is there a musky smell on Twitter?
Those three should tweet that before leaving
Parag had planned so did Vijaya for being ruthless on former US pres Trump. Biden WH didn't offer ElonMusk desired respect.
Yeah they done made him mad now he going full Metalocalypse on their ass.
Finally, Twitter smells good now
If this was really about free speech, then Truth Social and Parler would suffice. This is about an insatiable desire to “trigger libs” and you can’t do that on those other platforms.
DanielMac: Hey cool car there, what you do for a living? Parag: I got fired from Twitter and received tons of cash! DanielMac: Awesome dude, thanks!
wonder how the Stocks and Shares are doing
What a turd.
GROOMERS, GROOMERS GROOMERS GROOMERS!!!!!
Now I am deleting my account and will never use it again.
Congratulations Mr. Musk. God bless you. I hope this product echos your desire to make the world better. I am a supporter of MuskAwesomness
Read the book of Luke , and You will find out what happened to The Rich Man , When He tore his barns down to build bigger ones ...He has lifted his eyes in torment and ask Lazarus the poor man to give him a drop of water in Hell for relief ...Please read 2nd Chronicles 7:14 KJV
Time to censor liberal media like CNN .MSNBC etc if they spred misinformation. 😂😂😂
Oh gag…
lol hahaha according to a source. Still using anonymous sources when there are literally hundreds of tweets saying he fired them. What a piece of work CNN is. fakenews
🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊 bring orange 🍊 BACK!!!!!!
Elon Musk abandons himself as a critic of humanity, sometimes with Russia, sometimes with China and sometimes on Twitter🇺🇸
Every other Twitter Exec that didn’t get fired is crying themselves to sleep tonight because they didn’t get that change of control jackpot 💰💰💰💰💰💰
Remember this night my friend. Remember this night.
COVID 19 VACCINE IS KILLING PEOPLE !!!!!!
😈🔪🔪🔪
All you librats don't even post you leaving,just leave.😂😂😂😂
😂😂
of course, fire everyone but the wage slaves and EVS and rebuild it from the ground up with less censorship this time... test number one: fuckyouelon
BIDEN HAS DEMENTIA, HE IS NOT IN CONTROL, DEEP STATE AROUND HIM TAKE THE DECISIONS
Hate him some more Libs.
Bring Mr. Trump back
❤️
CNN IS FAKE NEWSSS !!!!!
MEN CAN NOT GET PREGNANTTTTTTTT !!!!!!!!
Imagine how many mouths he could of fed instead of feeding his ego. I will never buy a Tesla.
THE 2020 ELECTION WAS STOLEN !!! DEMOCRAT PARTY IS THE PARTY OF FRAUD
Hahahaahahaa
I guess the great Twitter firing is happening
good on him..Twitter became too much twisted political agenda for some democrats in last elections in US.
It was better oh here without Trump spewing his verbal sewage. I’ll miss the relative peace.
Rachel Levine is a man, and Ellen Page is a Woman. 👍
There are 2 dictators dangerous to mankind: Vladimir putin, elon mus-cow
Bring on the edit button
I don't care about the CEOs, I care about the damage he's gonna do to normal people.
Can you just fire people? Won't he have a lawsuit for that?
Time to leave Twitter!
Maybe Elon can revive downtown as well
Wow
Congratu ficking lotions Elon now fix the unconstitutional banned accounts on Twitter please mine being one of them

Yikes!!! Time to leave
Good!
