The world’s richest man tweeted that “the bird is freed,” in a reference to Twitter’s corporate logo, just hours before a court-ordered deadline to buy the business expired.
The billionaire had arrived at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters on Wednesday, carrying a kitchen sink ahead of closing his $44bn deal to purchase the micro-blogging site.
“Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!” the Tesla CEO tweeted.
Musk changed his Twitter profile to refer to himself as “Chief Twit” and his location as Twitter headquarters.
Meanwhile, Bret Taylor – who had served as Twitter’s chairman since last November – updated his LinkedIn profile to indicate that he was no longer in the post.
Musk, a self-styled “free speech absolutist” has been critical of Twitter’s management and its moderation policies.
They clashed over the terms of the takeover, with Musk accusing Twitter of providing misleading information about the firm’s user numbers.
