SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: Tesla CEO Elon Musk is now in charge of Twitter after finally completing $68 billion acquisition of the social network platform on Thursday, October 27. However, this has led to the removal of top executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal and CFO Ned Segal; and the internet is unable to keep calm with many calling the move ‘f**king amazing.’

Musk had earlier claimed that the platform has fake accounts and accused the company of not giving him access to enough information to verify the number of bots on the website, as per Engadget. However, Twitter fired back by calling his claims "factually inaccurate, legally insufficient and commercially irrelevant." Later when Musk said he was terminating the deal after initially agreeing to buy the company in April, Twitter sued the billionaire, alleging he “refuses to honor his obligations to Twitter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests,” ANI reports. The October 28 deadline was given to Musk to have the time to finance the Twitter deal
