Twitter's C-suite clears out as Musk cements power over the company | CNN Business

What's ahead for Twitter's workforce now that Elon Musk has the reins? Here's what we know as he looks to cut costs.

On October 27, the same day Elon Musk completed his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter, the company’s chief customer officer, Sarah Personette, tweeted that she “had a great discussion” with the social network’s new owner. The next day, Personette resigned. In less than a week since Musk acquired Twitter, the company’s C-suite appears to have almost entirely cleared out, through a mix of firings and resignations. Musk has also dissolved Twitter’s former board of directors.
