I’m the captain now! Musk chops the Twitter board and becomes the sole director

According to an SEC filing, Twitter’s nine board members lost their place on the board as part of Elon Musk’s takeover deal.

Crypto-friendly billionaire Elon Musk has become the sole director of Twitter, following the dissolution of nine former board members, according to newly filed documents. 

In an SEC filing dated Oct. 27, the “consummation” of Musk’s takeover of Twitter came with the dissolution of Twitter’s board members, including Bret Taylor, Parag Agrawal, Omid Kordestani, David Rosenblatt, Martha Lane Fox, Patrick Pichette, Egon Durban, Fei-Fei Li and Mimi Alemayehu.

“On October 27, 2022, and as a result of the consummation of the Merger, Mr Musk became the sole director of Twitter,” the filing reads.

The Tesla CEO later tweeted in a response to a Twitter user that the arrangement was “just temporary.”

Previously, Musk has said the platform under his ownership will focus on free speech, eliminating spam bots and fake accounts, an edit function, and possibly even crypto payments.

In the days since the Tesla CEO assumed ownership of Twitter, Musk has been busy providing updates on what his new platform could bring to the table.

He has already floated the idea of a monthly $19.99 payment to get the blue tick verification and bringing back Twitter’s defunct short-form video service Vines, which saw 69% of five million voters in favour of its comeback in an online poll. 

@sriramk any chance in helping with verification? Denied some 4-5 times despite large following and working to share spaceflight/rocket launches to the masses via my photography. Published in a plethora of huge outlets but Twitter doesn’t seem to care! https://t.co/efL1l1H2d9

Meanwhile, Musk has also declared the formation of a “content moderation council” aimed at ensuring free speech on the platform and considering reversing bans on certain Twitter accounts, such as that of former U.S president Donald Trump.

A crypto wallet is rumoured to be in development as well, but Musk has not made any comments about whether this is true.

Of course, the takeover has also seen CEO Parag Agrawal, chief financial officer (CFO) Ned Segal and head of legal and policy Vijaya Gadde all ousted from their executive roles for allegedly misleading Musk about the number of spam and fake accounts on the platform.

Meanwhile, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey who left Twitter’s board in May, and supported Musk’s purchase, appears to have doubled down on his stance by rolling over his stake of over 18 million shares, worth around $975 million at the buyout price of $54.20, into the new private company, according to a filing with the SEC dated Oct. 27. 

The platform is a popular communication tool for crypto enthusiasts with roughly 120,000 tweets per day about #Bitcoin alone, according to BitInfoCharts.

Musk changed his Twitter bio to “Chief of Twit,” the same day he visited Twitter’s San Francisco-based office carrying a sink.

On Oct. 31, he changed his bio again to “Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator” and, at one user’s suggestion, made his profile picture what appears to be him answering the phone as a child.
