- Following an unconventional takeover, Elon Musk is expected to serve as temporary CEO of Twitter.
- The aquisition places the world’s richest man at the helm of one of the most powerful platforms.
- Consultants and experts say leadership changes are on the horizon.
Last week, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company, had his offer to buy Twitter for $44 billion accepted. The acquisition would place the world’s richest man at the helm of one of the most powerful social platforms.
The takeover sparked speculation about the future of leadership at Twitter and whether Parag Agrawal, the company’s recently appointed CEO, would remain in the role. However, speculation of a potential CEO swap was squashed on Thursday as CNBC reported that Musk is expected to serve as temporary chief executive officer of Twitter.
Known for his visionary leadership and out-of-the-box thinking, Musk took Tesla from a fringe brand to the world’s most valuable car company and recently sent a four-person civilian crew into orbit in a SpaceX spaceship.
