- New Twitter owner Elon Musk has fired the company's board of directors and named himself the social media giant's sole director.
- That's according to paperwork filed Monday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which reveals Musk canned the board just before he completed his $44 billion takeover of Twitter. It's unclear if the nine people who sat on the board were offered other positions in the company.
- After completing the purchase last week, Musk dumped several of the company's top executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal and legal policy chief Vijaya Gadde.
