Twitter executives fired ahead of Elon Musk takeover.

Two senior Twitter executives are departing the company in one of the most significant shake-ups since Elon Musk agreed to buy it.

Twitter’s consumer and revenue operations were led by the executives.

Except for “business vital tasks,” the firm has suspended most hiring as of this week.

The move comes as Tesla CEO Elon Musk goes forward with a $44 billion (£36 billion) purchase of the platform.

“We’re cutting non-labor costs to be more responsible and efficient,” a Twitter spokeswoman told.

On Thursday, Kayvon Beykpour, who handled Twitter’s consumer division, and Bruce Falck, who supervised revenue, both posted that the departures were not their choices.

Mr Beykpour is on paternity leave and said he was saddened when Mr Parag asked him to go because he “wants to take the team in a different way.”

Will Trump return?

Mr. Musk claimed last week that if his takeover attempt is successful, he will lift former US President Donald Trump’s Twitter ban.

“I would remove the permanent ban,” he stated at an event on Tuesday, “but I don’t own Twitter yet, so this isn’t something that will absolutely happen.” “Even though I believe a less contentious candidate would be better in 2024, I still believe Trump should be restored to Twitter,” he tweeted on Thursday
