Musk, who noted that he was acquiring Twitter for humanity’s sake, announced the completion on his Twitter page tweeting “The bird is freed.” In his bid to achieve his plans for Twitter, Elon Musk has assumed the position of CEO, having sacked the company’s top executives like Parag Agrawal. The new CEO also said that he plans to stop the incessant bans on the users, says he does not believe in such prohibitions. He revealed that banned users like former U.S. president, Donald Trump, may be allowed to return to the app. Explaining his reason for the take over and highlighting his vision for the company, Elon Musk made a post on his Twitter page that reads: “The reason I acquired Twitter is that 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.

To everyone who has partnered with us, I thank you.
