After what has been described as a controversial acquisition
deal, Musk agreed to buy Twitter for $44 billion in April, 2022, thereby
becoming CEO of the microblogging platform.
According to the deal, investors received $54.20 for each
Twitter share they own, the company had said in a statement.
Twitter also became a privately held company upon the
completion of the transaction.
Musk, following his ascension as the company’s head,
implemented many radical policies beginning with the sack of Twitter’s three
top executives — less than a day after completing the acquisition of the
platform.
Following that, the billionaire went on a massive global
layoff spree which affected Twitter’s newly created Africa headquarters,
cutting the jobs of 3,700 workers.
Musk further switched gears by introducing a verification
policy which compels users to pay at least $8 to get the blue badge.
Although the billionaire said he acquired the social media
platform to promote free speech, Musk has become a subject criticism on the
platform since he took over the company.
