Elon Musk fires key Twitter executives including CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, General Counsel Sean Edgett, and Head of Legal Policy Vijaya Gadde as his first major move as the platform's new owner. Multiple news outlets confirm the leadership purge takes place on a Thursday night shortly after the official acquisition deal closes.

Musk harbors public and private grievances against the ousted executives, notably criticizing Gadde for her role in banning former President Donald Trump and exchanging hostile messages with Agrawal. The sudden dismissals spark anxiety among the remaining workforce, especially since Musk previously hints at cutting up to 75 percent of the company's staff.

This executive shake-up represents the latest in a long series of leadership departures at Twitter that predate Musk's arrival. Since Agrawal takes over from founder Jack Dorsey, the company already loses several high-level executives including its chief design officer, head of engineering, and top security officials.
