Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday changed his Twitter profile bio to “Chief Twit”, signalling his takeover of Twitter was coming.
Later, Musk said, “a beautiful thing about Twitter is how it empowers citizen journalism – people are able to disseminate news without an establishment bias.”
Just moments ago, Musk shared a video of himself walking into Twitter headquarters in San Francisco, with the caption, “entering Twitter HQ—let that sink in!”, while carrying an actual sink.

The Washington Post reported last week that documents cited Musk would cut Twitter’s 7,500 workforce by 75%, to have a staff of around 2,000 workers. Twitter’s workforce remains larger and bloated compared to other tech companies, based on the number of its 450 million active users.
A Delaware judge says the Twitter-Musk deal must close by Friday, October 28, 2022, and yesterday it was reported the Tesla CEO had already pledged to bankers he would seal the deal on time.
